Try mounting without specifying the filesystem type. Linux is usually smart enough to figure it were as we mere mortals sometimes get it wrong.
I did that, and it mounted. Thanks! Weird thing was, the mac drive actually has 2 partitions, and I finally figured out using yast expert partitioner that it was sda2 that I need to mount for the data. The partition table is of type GPT, and there is a warning that says fdisk doesn't support GPT. I guess that is why fdisk would not show the entire partition table for this drive. It only showed /dev/sda1, and /dev/sda2 wasn't even listed. the reason #mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda1 /mnt/macdrive didn't work was because /dev/sda1 is some kind of mac boot partition format and is not hfs+. -- G.O.
