I have a few questions about using HFS+ with FreeBSD 6.0-stable. - what's the recommended utility/utilities to use for handling HFS+ partitions? I've been looking at the hfsutils port (ports/emulators/hfsutils) as well as an hfs project found here: http://people.freebsd.org/~yar/hfs/ . - does anyone know if any of the HFS utilities support having an HFS+ partition on a disk with a dos-compatible partition table? What I'm trying to do is mount an HFS+ partition from a usb-drive. The disk was created using my mac, and was created so that (while using an hfs driver for windows called macdrive6) I can access the drive from both my mac & my windows system. I'd like to use the drive in my FreeBSD system as well, hence my curiousity about the above. If I attach the drive to my system, I get /dev/da1 /dev/da1s1 and /dev/da1s2. s1 is the HFS+ partition, and s2 is a fat32 formatted partition. I've attempted using the hfsutils port and running hmount, and received the following error: # hmount /dev/da1s1 hmount: /dev/da1s1: not a Macintosh HFS volume (Invalid argument) Using the mount_hfs command from the programs found on http://people.freebsd.org/~yar/hfs/ i was able to execute mount with the following error as well: # mount -t hfs /dev/da1s1 /mnt mount_hfs: /dev/da1s1: No such file or directory I may be trying something rather unusual, but I'd like to get it working. Thanks, -Joe
