/etc/fstab
since SuSE Linux 7.3 because the kernel driver is not stable enough.
remount rw /mountpoint
/mountpoint
is the mountpoint where your HFS partition is mounted in the Linux directory structure. It will change the mode of /mountpoint
to read-write.
If you prefer a permanent read-write mode, change the entries in the file /etc/fstab
.
Open the file with any editor of your choice (you need root permissions to write that file). Search for lines similar to these:
/dev/hda9 /mac/linuxboot hfs ro,noauto,user 0 0 /dev/hda10 /mac/exchange hfs ro,noauto,user 0 0
The entry ro
is the mount mode, is means read-only. Change it to rw
to mount it in read-write mode after the next reboot.
Keep in mind that the kernel HFS driver is not stable, it will crash on a SMP system.
There is a package called hfsutils.rpm that is much safer to use for data transfer.
Example (you need root permissions):
su - hmount /dev/hda10 hls -l hcopy /home/user/picture.jpg : hcopy -t :template.txt ~user/KDesktop/template.txt humount chown user ~user/KDesktop/template.txt exit
