longview Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Well, that depends on the filesystem you use. I think OS X will read Ntfs, Fat32,UFS,Hfs,Iso9660. Unless your Suse install uses any of those then no. (And you most likely don't) Possibly a longshot, but running a util like Ext2FS in Darwine could possibly work.

skn Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Just wondering if I can mount my SuSe partition in Mac OSx86? Is this possible? Unfortunately, Tiger is not supported by Mac OS X Ext2 Filesystem.

Suse are installing ReiserFS by default so Ext2FS will not work.

buymeapc Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 It was installed as ReiserFS, I believe. I tried using Ext2FS, but not Ext2FSX. Will this app read Reiser?

DrJägermeister Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 It was installed as ReiserFS, I believe. I tried using Ext2FS, but not Ext2FSX. Will this app read Reiser? No, only EXT2 and evtl. EXT3. But at least you can mount your OSX86 partition in Suse if this helps.

buymeapc Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 No, only EXT2 and evtl. EXT3. D'oh! But at least you can mount your OSX86 partition in Suse if this helps. How can I do this?

DrJägermeister Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 How can I do this? Open a konsole and type: #su (be root) #fdisk -l (shows your partitions, find your OSX86) #mkdir /tmp/OSX86 (make OSX86 folder in /tmp) #mount -t hfsplus /dev/hda1 /tmp/OSX86 (change /dev/hda1 with your OSX86 partition) #cd /tmp/OSX86 (change in that directory) #ls (same as dir) It works with Suse 9.3 and 10.0 out of the box, if you have an older one give a try. If you want to keep it after each reboot, just add it to your /etc/fstab Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4147-can-i-mount-linux-in-osx86/#findComment-27407 Share on other sites More sharing options...

buymeapc Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 This mounts the partition in /tmp/OSX86. Is there a way to mount it in Media as a hard drive?

skn Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 This mounts the partition in /tmp/OSX86. Is there a way to mount it in Media as a hard drive? Yes, there is. Just replace /tmp with the mount point you wish (/media, for example).

DerFlash Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Yes, there is. Just replace /tmp with the mount point you wish (/media, for example). remember: you have to create the target first... as root: "mkdir /media/myMacPartition" and after this you can use this dir as mount target...

domino Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 If you log into Suse with the same user ID in Mac, you have read and write access for HFS+ partition/disks. you'll need to edit the /etc/fstab and add this for example: /dev/hda2 /media/OSx86 hfsplus rw,exec,auto,users 0 0 Of course you'll have to change the hda2 and OSx86 to reflect your setup.

d11wtq Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Sorry to dig this old thread up but I just wanted to point out that HFS+ support is *nix is read-only. I've not found an alternative as of yet Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4147-can-i-mount-linux-in-osx86/#findComment-63291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
