I read some things about the HFSX (HFS+ with case sensitivity) and I am wondering how I can mount it on Linux? I get HFS_-fs: unable to find HFS+ superblock when trying to mount and it fails when I try to mount with $ mount -t hfs /dev/hda13 /mnt/x. I would like to use and mount the case sensitive HFS+ on my powerbook to use my hard drive space more efficiently between the 2 oses. Is this even possible even with the 2.6.8 kernel? -Adam PS. I got HFSX from the table when I do mac-fdisk -l
