How to mount a HFS partition in linux as Read/Write?

Firstly install the needed software:

core:~# apt-get install hfsprogs

List the target disk:

core:~# fdisk -l /dev/uba

WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/uba'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.

Disk /dev/uba: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Mount the target partition:

core:~# mount -t hfsplus -o rw,force /dev/uba3 /mnt/mac/

if it was mounted automatically, umount and mount it back:

core:~# mount -o remount,rw,force /mnt/mac/

Test if you can write to it (we will just create an empty file with

touch

command):

core:~# df -h /mnt/mac/

core:~# ls -la /mnt/mac/testfile
