OSX uses HFS+ for its file system. YDL has very good read/write support
for HFS (plain vanilla non-plus). And I know that HFS+ can be read from
YDL, but I'm not sure if it can be written to. Supposedly, there is now
full linux support for HFS+, but I don't know if the newest YDL has it by
default. But if need be, it probably can be done.
YDL supports HFS+ out of the box. Just mount an HFS+ partition with -t
hfsplus as its format flag and you should be good to go.
That's good to know. Thanks. I think I tried writing to (or more
specifically deleting from) HFS+ once along time ago, and ended up
damaging the filesystem. Nothing a forced file system check couldn't
undo, thankfully. That was quite a while ago though, so it probably works
better now. I'll have to try it out.
