That was a fast reply ! Thank you ... however what am I doing wrong here ?? enceladus# enceladus# apt show hfsprogs Package: hfsprogs Version: 540.1.linux3-4 Priority: optional Section: non-free/otherosfs Maintainer: John Paul Adrian Glaubitz <glaub...@physik.fu-berlin.de> Installed-Size: 555 kB Depends: libc6 (>= 2.28), libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0) Homepage: https://opensource.apple.com/source/diskdev_cmds/ Download-Size: 162 kB APT-Sources: http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased/main ppc64 Packages Description: mkfs and fsck for HFS and HFS+ file systems The HFS+ file system used by Apple Computer for their Mac OS is supported by the Linux kernel. Apple provides mkfs and fsck for HFS+ with the Unix core of their operating system, Darwin. . This package is a port of Apple's tools for HFS+ filesystems. . For users, HFS+ seems to be a good compromise to carry files between MacOS X and Linux Machines, as HFS+ doesn't suffer the problems of FAT32 like: . * huge space waste (in slack space as devices grow faster); * ability to create files that are more than 4GB in size (especially good for those working with multimedia and that need to carry large ISO files); * ability to use case preserving (and even sensitivity!); * ability to use uid's and gid's on the filesystem. . Users in general can enjoy such benefits since it is expected to have more HFS+ filesystems in use, as Apple has announced Macintoshes for ix86-64, besides the filesystem being already supported by PowerPC systems since the beginning. enceladus# apt-get install hfsprogs Reading package lists...
