Amahi Forums

i just built an Amahi system. then i connected a Mac formatted HFS+ hard disk to Amahi system.
it showed up under /Media (auto mounted). owned by nobody:nobody if I do ls -al /media.

i created a share. path of share i set as /media/sgate
then i VPN back into the server from outside. mount the drive.
so far so good. i can now copy stuff from this drive but i can write into this new share.
btw, i can write to /Docs and other folders.

i did some research. it appears HFS+ format is the issue here.
it appears that this link below should help me -- but I do not know how to do this thing in yum.

can a mod here help may be - i use Macs and it would be a shame if I need to change the format of my HDD.
perhaps a deal killer



would be grateful if somebody can help.

thank you!

How to add additional hard drives in your HDA:

This should mount the drive in a way that will make it writable.
Not many people use HFS+-formatted drives, so I'm not sure how well this procedure has been tested with such. Please report back on success or failure.

Note: Don't expect stellar performance with such hard drive in Linux. I'm not sure how good is the hfsplus driver implementation.

thank you.
i will try it out.
