is it possible to read a HSF+ (Mac osX partition) on a usb external HD plugged into the USB port?

Can/will it be implemented in the next release? :please

thanks and have a nice week end !

when I type fdisk -l for /dev/sdb2 it says unknown...

Ok I just saw that the hfsplus module is not present in the fw kernel. Is there an easy fix? i.e.: copying some file and activate the module?

I will have a look, which kernel are you using?

For now 4.6.6. Tanks fvdw!

well 3.14.2 has support for hfs and hfs plus

Code: Select all

# CONFIG_AFFS_FS is not set
CONFIG_HFS_FS=y
CONFIG_HFSPLUS_FS=y
CONFIG_HFSPLUS_FS_POSIX_ACL=y


but 4.6.6 not yet

Code: Select all

# CONFIG_HFS_FS is not set
# CONFIG_HFSPLUS_FS is not set


I will recompile 4.6.6 with hfs and hfs plus support

Oh well I'm looking into it since I upgraded to 4.6.6 what a bad timing :)

But in 3.14 my hfs partition would not mount when plugged in? Did I had to mount it manually?

probably yes as the firmware doesn't support hfs and hfs plus mounting by default.
The compiler is running , tomorrow evening I will post the new 4.6.6 kernel with hfs support and the debug warnings turned off

Its already done, new kernel and modules can be found here

Thank you very much fvdw I'll try this tonight when I get home and report back! I will then be able to make a backup on my time capsule via USB instead of using rsync. I think USB is quite slow tho ;)
