read/write to hfsplus drive?

[Eric Dunbar]

Hi,

1. Can you READ from the HFS+ ppartition? I recently did a df on a
directory on my HFS+ partition in YDL 3.0.1 and got a segmentation
fault which did something to the partition. I've fixed it in OS 9
using Norton but YDL still only mounts it as read only. mount advises
me to run fsck.hfsplus (unfortunately no such app exists ;).

2. If that's not the case, this is roughly what I do to access my HFS+
partitions:

1. create a directory. In this case you have mnt/data but you may want
/mnt/macos or whatever

2. mount /dev/hdc7 /mnt/macos -t hfsplus

To unmount, make sure you cd into /. Then umount /dev/hdc7 or umouunt
/mnt/macos (iirc both work)..

Obviously your HD will be different. To find out what you're running,
fire up pdisk and figure out what hdxn is. x is a, b, c or s usually
and n will be between 5 and whatever.

Eric.

Apologies for top post.
