How do I get access to files in my User dir on HFSPLUS?

I can get my drive mounted..

mount -t hfsplus /dev/hda12 /mnt/mac

but I can only view most of the directories..

I can view all the main folders directly inside of my user directory, but if I try to access any of them (other than Public and Sites) it won't let me.

I'm assuming it's keeping me from these areas because I don't have the permissions, and I've done a little reading about mounting and fstab but I don't understand part of it..

It says I can set my uid=xxx and gid=xxx to set the user id and group permissions of all files... I *Think* this is what I need to do to get access to my files but do not want to try for fear of what I don't know.. that being..

is it permanently changing the user id and group permissions of all files on my /dev/hda12 partition, or is it just setting them temporarily while I'm mounting?

I'm mainly wanting to set it up so that I can listen to mp3s on my hfsplus partition, but they are sitting within a directory under my user dir that is privately owned by that user on OS X side..

i have build in the last few weeks my first gentoo box on my apple ibook. since the main installation was done, i was looking for a mount possibility for hfs+ partitons. i tried your command and had abolutely no problems. at the moment i'm listening with xmms an mp3 directly from my mac partition.

i can't imagine an answer to your problem at the moment. sorry :cry:

ok, with the standard permission settings you can only access files from the mac-partition with root. but when you change the permissions in the os x (rightclick on folder -> information -> permissions), that the others can read the music-folders, it is no problem to access them under linux with a non root user.
