Sharing an hfsplus partition between Linux and MacOSX
Dear list,
I just finished installing the kernel 2.6.14 with HFS and HFSPLUS
modules built-in. To my understanding with this kernel it should be
possibile to read and write on Mac HFS extended partitions.
I verified that it is indeed possible but I can do this only with root
permissions and not as a common user.
Below my current fstab, although I tried already several other different
ways to mount the partition. When mounted hfs partitions receives uid
"501" and gid "dialout". Adding this group in /etc/group and the name of
the user as member of the group does not solve the problem.
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/hda12 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda10 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda13 /home ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/hda11 /mnt/rescue hfsplus user,auto,rw,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022 0 0
/dev/hda14 /mnt/shared hfsplus defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022 0 1
/dev/hda15 /mnt/macosx hfsplus noauto,user,ro 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /floppy auto user,noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
How could I manage to have rw permissions on the partition /mnt/shared
for whichever user? Moreover, is it a good choice to use hfs+ to share
a partition between linux and MacosX? Alternatively, which could be a
better file system to choose ?
Thank you in advance for the consideration.
Regards,
Marco
