As I explained, by default mol is set to scan (almost) all available hard disks and feed the HFS+ partitions that are not mounted read-write by Linux to the Mac OS. You want to edit /etc/mol/molrc.osx and explicitly specify an unused block device or file. If you force mol to use it, then it is not necessary to create a file system beforehand (there is no easily available mkfs.hfsplus for Linux anyway). So the line should be something like blkdev: /dev/hda42 -rw -force or blkdev: /home/macosx -rw -force In the latter case, you have to create an empty file of the appropriate size first (like, `dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/macosx bs=1M count=5k' for a 5Gigabyte "disk"). And in the former case, make sure you don't trash a Linux partition by accident! Regards, Jens. -- J'qbpbe, le m'en fquz pe j'qbpbe! Le veux aimeb et mqubib panz je pézqbpbe je djuz tqtaj!
