I just want to confirm that one can mount hfsplus partitions used by MacOSX on linux in read-write mode. However, you should make sure that you disable the journal on the partition, because the journal is not supported on linux. Note also that there is currently no support to check the filesystem on linux. On my system: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ grep hfsplus /etc/fstab /dev/hda7 /mnt/mac hfsplus ro 0 0 /dev/hda8 /mnt/osx hfsplus ro,noauto 0 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ mount | grep hfsplus /dev/hda7 on /mnt/mac type hfsplus (ro) Yup, it is mounted read-only, because I only need to use that partition read-only. If it is mounted read-write and for some reason the partition is not umounted cleanly, I will have to reboot in OSX to have the partition checked... so that's why I just mount it read-only, but I used to mount it read-write before and writing did work. > the package hfsplus, does not mount actually its a virtual thing. hmmm...?

I've been using that HFS+ partition already for a long time... probably about a year. And it's just with regular kernel support and the hfsplus package. (on Debian unstable) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ grep HFS /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_HFS_FS=y CONFIG_HFSPLUS_FS=y Anyways.. can't help with the problem of the original poster.. like someone else said.. it seems likely that the appropriate kernel module is missing and/or the hfsplus package.
