Hi all,
I´ve got a HFS+(not journaled) volume connected to my centos6.2 test server, i installed the kmod-hfs(plus) packages and read/write works all fine. but since i´m going to use this for serving mac home folders via netatalk i would like to mount it with support for Extended Attributes and acl´s. so i add user_xattr and acl to my fstab options but then it fails to mount. checking the error in dmesg just gives me ¨hfs: unable to parse mount options¨. does anyone know what´s going on and what i should do to make this work?
regards,
Wessel

Well, having used the in-kernel HFS+ filesystem driver before, and found it lacking in a number of areas (like massive corruption under heavy load or when unlinking lots of files) I bought the commercially supported Paragon NTFS&HFS drivers. http://www.paragon-software.com/business/ntfs-linux-professional/
I have not tried extended attribute and acl support, but the Paragon drivers support full read and write on journaled HFS+ filesystems. It's $40 US, but worth every penny in my book for filesystem compatibility.
Hi Lamar,
i tried their free version today. at first it did look promising but as soon i was to perform actions on files with acl's on them the whole system came down hard and leaving my external HDD corrupted. after several hours i've decided to give up and go with ext4 but still thanks!

Sorry it didn't work out for you. Linus, for one, has a pretty poor opinion of HFS in general.....and I'm not thrilled with it myself, due to some issues I had with Tiger on a PowerMac G4 and heavily corrupted filesystems, journaled or not. And I have some of the 'rescue' tools like DiskWarrior, and I've still lost some data.
Hopefully your experience with ext4 will work out better.
Mac OS X does very well with SMB/CIFS shares, too, if AppleTalk doesn't work out for you. (I run Mac OS X here in a few areas, and even Tiger works well with a Samba server, but I haven't tried any ACL's with it).
i figured that if you use filesystems and protocols most native to the mac os you´ll get the best results in stability on the client side, that´s why i thought of HFS. but ext4 seems to do the job well. i´ll definitely checkout samba too. do you also serve homedirs to them? had any issues?
Thanks, Wessel

While I have no personal experience with it, I did notice that Apple supports NFS with kerberos authentication which is documented on their support site. It might be worth looking into.
