that's not a linux problem by the way.
also, by the way, HFS+ support is surely available as a kernel module for linux? This website seems to suggest it might be: http://www.google.com/search?q=hfs%2B+linux+kernel+module
worker201:
^ What's the command to find out if a particular module is loaded into the kernel? I know it is available, because I've built kernels with built-in HFS+ support before. But I'm pretty sure it's still not standard.
FYI, sometimes I will ask a question that I am quite capable of looking up the answer to. It's not because I'm lazy, but because I'm kinda busy, and that particular knowledge, while important, is just not all that high on my list of priorities. I realize that you are probably also kinda busy, and that answering my questions is not very high on your list of priorities. UNLESS it's one of those things that you just kinda know off the top of your head and can share without having to do any kind of work, I fully expect you to ignore it. In fact, from now on, if I ask a straightforward question, please just go ahead and assume that what I'm really asking is that if you know the answer without looking it up, please feel free to share (and know in your heart that I would be willing to do the same for you on things that I know well). The point here is to pool knowledge, after all.

lsmod
search your package manager for hfs and/or hfstools, once the relevant package is installed (and its probably the one that ISNT hfstools) id expect hfs support to 'just work' or else id be disappointed. I havent needed to mess about with modprobing etc since I was using slackware, mandrake and linux from scratch, pretty much, so i try to avoid that carry on.

I know exactly what you mean, but your response in this thread suggested I shouldve provided the answers to the Qs that I asked, for you.

If only it were this easy on OSX ay: http://fs-driver.org/
Note: yes, this is an ext2 driver but it can mount ext3 volumes as the two are backward compatible, however without journaling just to mount it more than 25 times you are going to need to duel boot or use a VM Linux to run fsck.
Kinda fucking gay they don't make a Windows fsck.ext2 for it, then it would be bareable.

Kinda ridiculous that it isn't.
NOBODY in the OS X world decided to make an EXT2 driver, and not charge money for it? If that is true I'm making this official: Apple users, they are the scum of the computer world.
