How to enable write permissions HFS+ for timemachine?

Hi everyone,

In the storage spooling demo video I saw that there is a share for timemachine, which encouraged me to ask... Doesn't it require Fedora HFS+ write support? If so, how do we enable it?

Currently, I am using the timemachine by seeding the ext3 partition with a small sparse bundle file (created on another mac), which grows in time. However, in may experience, this is *highly* undependable. It failed miserably when I tried to restore the system once. Luckily it was just a test drive and I did not lose any data.

Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks!


PS: I have seen the wiki and followed all instructions without a problem. I am just stuck at the point where Fedora sees my external HFS+ disk as 'read-only'.

Looks like repairing the partition and remounting worked. If you have the same problem then fsck.hfsplus is your friend :)
