I am trying to mount a mac os drive (from my son's broken mac) into linux to get the data off of it. I actually successfully did this with the same drive about 6 months ago when I was using 11.4.
I installed hfsutils, used fdisk to check which device the drive is when I plugged it in, and it is /dev/sda1. So I made the directory /mnt/macdrive and then as root typed the following with the following result:
linux-aw90:/ # mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda1 /mnt/macdrive mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so
so I checked dmesg | tail and I get this for the last couple of lines:
[ 874.947485] hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock [ 899.247767] SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=48:5b:39:f3:76:92:c0:3f:0e:7e:fa:f9:08:00 SRC=192.168.0.1 DST=192.168.0.151 LEN=78 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=398 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=1025 DPT=137 LEN=58
I don't follow that last line except that I see a mac address, my default gateway, and my ip address. Don't understand the other things.
So I was thinking that maybe it is hfs and not hfs+, so I tried to mount it as hfs instead:
linux-aw90:/ # mount -t hfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/macdrive mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so
same result. Any ideas?
Try mounting without specifying the filesystem type.
