Hi all,

I have an external usb/firewire HD, that dmesg shows it is recognizing as :
Quote:
scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: DMI Model: WD2500JB-00GVC0 Rev: 3.53
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
SCSI device sda: 488397168 512-byte hdwr sectors (250059 MB)
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1
Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0
USB Mass Storage device found at 2
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: ctrl urb status -32 received
HID device not claimed by input or hiddev
usbhid: probe of 1-1:1.1 failed with error -5
FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sda.
HFS+-fs: unable to find HFS+ superblock (
hfs_fs: unable to parse mount options.
VFS: Can't find a HFS filesystem on dev sda.


I have both apple filesystem and apple extended HFS compiled directly in my kernel (linux-2.6.8-gentoo-r8) but, it won't mount it when I try mount -t hfs or hpfs.

Is there a link or suggestion I can get from someone?

TIA,

cayenne

I'm not 100% sure the hfs+ driver in the kernel supports the HFS type used by MAC OS X. (At least with journalling)

Any suggestions? Has anyone been able to access hfs+ drives via Gentoo?

TIA,

cayenne

Have you tried using the hfs utils in portage?
Code:
emerge hfsutils

Ok...after a little more research and futz'ing around....

I found that the external HD is on /dev/sda1 not just sda.

I can mount it successfully, and read and write to it.

however, i can only read/write as root. I tried in the mounting to do

mount -o uid=cayenne /dev/sda1 /mnt/external

But still only allows access from the root user...I tried also with the -o gid=users in various combinations with the uid, but, still no go.

Any advice on what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,

cayenne

isn't uid supposed to be the numeric uid?
