Need to mount hfs+ drive [SOLVED]

#1 Post by rmcellig »

I would like to copy all the data from my hfs+ formatted drive (from my Mac) to my Linux formatted drive. When I click on the sdc1 (hfs+) icon, there is no data on the drive. Do I have to install something in order for hfs+ drives to mount properly?

I am running Puppy 5.2.8

Thanks!!

Sounds like you need to... Loading hfs and hfsplus may be enough.

You can tell me whether the mount bit needs to happen..

Hopefully the loading of the kernel module as suggested by Semme will solve the problem.

If there are compatibility issues, TestDisk may help, NB I once used TestDisk to copy files from a Ext4 formatted device in a version of Puppy that predated Ext4. TestDisk needs to be used with care though, as it can also be used to delete or reformat partitions.

Where are the hfs and hfsplus located. I can't see them in the puppy-lucid repo.

Thanks. I just happen to be in Puppy at the moment so I can try it out to see if it works.

They're already onboard. From here it's: modprobe module_name for each..
