[Bug 232235] New: Mounting external harddrive formatted by MacOS fails
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=232235 Summary: Mounting external harddrive formatted by MacOS fails Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: devmail@hispeed.ch QAContact: qa@suse.de I have an external harddisk which is formatted with HFS+ by MacOS X. Plugging it in to my computer under openSUSE 10.1 worked fine, in KDE a Konqueror window appeared which shows the root folder of the disk, and in the Services pane, under Storage Media, I can see the disk and its folders. Reading from and writing to the disk also worked flawlessly. Under openSUSE 10.2, something goes wrong when the disk is plugged in. The system appears to recognize the hardware, but the drive is not mounted, hence KDE is not able to display the drive contents. However, the drive is listed under Storage Media in the Services pane, but any attempt to view its contents fails. A workaround is to manually mount the partition which Konqueror tries to show - any mount point will do. As soon as this is done, I can access the drive as usual. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

As described in the original bug report, a workaround is to perform the actual mounting manually after receiving the error. In fact, even if I switch off the "Mount as user" option, the drive still gets mounted with uid=1000, as reported in the system log: Jan 29 20:48:43 blackbox hald: mounted /dev/sdc3 on behalf of uid 1000 Also, looking inside /media/.hal-mtab gives me: /dev/sdc3 1000 0 hfsplus nosuid,nodev,sync /media/GOLDENSTAR I don't think the actual mounting is the problem, it's some other action performed by hald, e.g. creating the mount directory in the /media folder. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
