Re: mount hfs+ partition

I think this is a problem with the install (2.6.8-3) on the r3 sarge CD, actually. Earlier versions (both r1 and r2), even if they didn't have hfsplus built into the kernel, at least had it as a loadable .ko module on the installer's initrd. Not the case with r3. I presume it's installed on the /target drive, and I suppose an insmod from there will work just as well, but I really get the impression that the installer initrd is as barebones as they come.

Sorry brian, I don't bother what the man mount does say, as I use
hfsplus for some years now on at least 3 debian installations and two
Ubuntu. hfsplus is alive!

One thing you might to is apt-get install hfsplus as it is a package
within otherfs. And debian is well known not always getting the whole
thing done. On the other side, hfsplus is part of the ppc kernel 2.4
and 2.6.

There is such a thing as -t hfsplus.
