Hi,
I need to migrate about 8Tb of data from a Mac Fibre Channel RAID to by LVM Ext3 Linux Fibre Channel RAID. For speed I planned to connect both RAID's to my CentOS Server and copy the data directly.
The Mac volume is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) it seems that CentOS 5.4 supports reading HFS volumes but not HFSPlus volumes. Is there a way of getting this volume to mount so I can copy of the data? I see Fedora has HFSPlus support
Thanks
Keith

I'd be tempted to connect the HFS+ RAID back to the Mac and copy the data using rsync. Sure it won't be as quick as direct attached, but maybe quicker than waiting for a working solution.
Or maybe try a Fedora live CD.

The CentOS 5 kernel does have the hfsplus.ko module ...
What happens when you type:
modprobe hfsplus

Hi,
Nothing is returned when I type
modprobe hfsplus

Hi,
When I type lsmod | grep hfsplus
I get
hfsplus 110409 0
Thanks for the help

That means it has probably loaded it OK - what does the following gives:
lsmod | grep hfsplus

Hi
I tired plugging in a USB drive that was formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and it mounted first time Thus it seems there is direct support for HFSPlus with CentOS 5.4 just no hfsplusutils

# locate hfsplus => /lib/modules/2.6.18-164.11.1.el5/kernel/fs/hfsplus/hfsplus.ko But the mount manpage only talks about hfs and the hfsplus in the kernel sources seems to be empty... I guess just try: modprobe hfsplus mount -t hfsplus ... (maybe -o ro to be safe?)

No need for the -o ro, as HFS+ Journaled volumes are ALWAYS mounted read-only unless you use the force option.
