How to mount external Mac hd?
Is there any way to mount Mac external HD ( probably MAC OS extended (journaled HFS++ ) on a recent Puppy Linux? which Puppy support it?
I found an old topic about it : http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=13808.
What about Puppy 528 or other recent Puppies that can open this "locked proprietary box"?
I hate proprietary hardware , but what to do, some friend would like to share files with me, and they are Mac dependent.

just do this part, if the modules are in there (you can test by doing the modprobe line)
modprobe hfsplus
mount -t hfsplus -o rw /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
rox /mnt/sdb1
assuming you only have one internal and it's the first usb drive with hfs+ (probably is + at this point).
adjust sdxx for drive and partition.
modprobe hfsplus
mount -t hfsplus -o rw /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
rox /mnt/sdb1
assuming you only have one internal and it's the first usb drive with hfs+ (probably is + at this point).
adjust sdxx for drive and partition.
This is what I get:
The drive mounts but I don't see the HFS+ partition.
So what should I do next?
Code: Select all
sh-4.1# modprobe hfs
sh-4.1# modprobe hfsplus
sh-4.1# mount -t hfsplus -o rw /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /mnt/sdb1 busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /mnt/sdb1
sh-4.1# rox /mnt/sdb1
sh-4.1#
So what should I do next?

Code: Select all
sh-4.1# mount -t hfsplus -o rw /dev/sdb2 /mnt/sdb2
mount: mount point /mnt/sdb2 does not exist
sh-4.1#
So creating a /mnt/sdb2 directory will make a difference? I'm on the Mac side at the moment but tomorrow I will try what don570 suggests and se what happens after I run again.
Code: Select all
mount -t hfsplus -o rw /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
Success! I mounted both of my HFS+ drives.
The icons on the pinboard don't show the mounted volumes. Is there a way that they can display on the pinboard and is there a way that from now on when I boot into Puppy Linux on my iMac that my HFS+ volumes will auto mount or do I always have to go to the terminal and type in the command to mount them.
Do I have to do something with the fstab file?

Great! Now how about some closure?

Pinboard? Sure. Like the ones used in ~/.pup_event, they probably need icons.
The modules themselves you should be able to add via BootManager, no?
The 'mount' process? Think about it.. happens during boot, doesn't it?

Seriously though, I'm sure there's more to it than I know ATM..

I just deleted my Crunchbang partition on my iMac and now I have an empty 40GB partition along with a 2.2GB swap partition.
This is what I hate and love about Linux. So many choices. I want to install a distro that is fast and light, so first one that comes to mind aside from Puppy is Lubuntu. Maybe I will install Lubuntu and then a frugal install of Precise Puppy. After I install Lubuntu 12.04 I will upgrade it to maybe the new 3.10.5 kernel so that I can use Audio Line in capability.
I found out that the kernel in 12.04 as well s Puppy 528 does not support the audio card in my iMac. At least Prcise has the 3.9 kernel.
Tough decisions!!
The plus side with Precise is that it is a frugal install which is super flexible and light. It does everything I need it to do.
If you had my iMac (a 2006 24" model), what distro would you install for dual booting or am I over thinking this?
