mac usb drive problem with F11

2010-01-06 Thread Dave Stevens
I'd like to mount a (WD) mac usb drive in F11. It has a hfsplus  
filesystem on it. I can mount it and copy data to it but when I look  
in the drive I see no new data, just what was already there. Any  
suggestions?

Does Linux have write support for hfsplus yet? Or only hfs?

AFAIK, only HFS, HFS+ (journaled HFS) isn't there yet.

Yes, that's what I thought. Interestingly though his mount command
shows that it's mounted rw, yet if he couldn't write to it I'd expect
some kind of error.

So Dave, under OS X you can turn journalling OFF on the device, then
reboot into Linux and try it without journalling.
It's something like:

sudo diskutil disableJournal /Volumes/VOLUME_NAME

-c

IIRC (and my experience had to do with using an iPod as a drive, so
keep that in mind), you didn't get an error from the write.  I think
the write occurred as far as Linux was concerned, but the device
wouldn't actually commit the write to disk because of the journal.

Once you turned off journaling, writes generated an SELinux error.
That should be fixed (HFS is supposed to be treated the same as NFS in
later SELinux versions).  I had BZ'd that glitch and I think that was
the response.

Thanks to all who answered. 

I tried mounting it with -force, which in principle ought to have permitted 
writes, but even though the write operation went as I would have expected 
(messages about copying n files then n-1 files all the way down to zero), 
after the copy I saw no new data on the drive. PITA.

So now I've copied all the data to a ntfs usb drive and will next plug that 
into the macbook pro to see if I can get the data there. And the hfsplus 
volume works with the macbook pro, so in principle.

crossing my fingers...

I guess the answer to that is no.

Did you see my email about disabling journalling? I'm pretty confident
that if you do that, you will be able to write to it under Linux -
it's still HFS+, just without journalling.

You can re-enable journalling under OS X afterwards if you want to.

OS X cannot read NTFS AFAIK.
