Read HFS+ external disk plugged in the USB port?

[raidsm]

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 !

[raidsm]

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?

[fvdw]

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

[raidsm]

For now 4.6.6. Tanks fvdw!

[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

[raidsm]

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?

[fvdw]

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

[fvdw]

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 ;)
