Hi,

I am trying to mount a usb drive that I use with my Mac; it's formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Webmin can't mount the drive because it only has hfs. As far as I know, I need to install hfsplus, but I don't know how to install it or where to get it.

I appreciate if someone can help.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Bahram Shahrooz,

You got my attention because you ask a mac related question. I'm also using Mac OS and i think we need more active mac users on this forum.

I did some investigation and the Elrepo has the HFSplus kernel module. ELRepo supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux and its derivatives.

*** add elrepo



by default this repo is enable so i'll suggest you disable it and use "--enablerepo=" to install rpms.


*** install kmod-hfsplus



IMPORTANT:I never used this repo or tested this so my advice is test this in a virtual machine. So be careful.

Thanks Marcel, following your excellent instructions solved my problem.

However, I've a new problem! I've another drive which is GPT type and is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). When I try to mount it, I get the following error message.

[root@system usbdrive]# mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdd1 /mnt/usbdrive
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

After trying dmesg | tail, I get the following:

Could you please again help me?

Thanks again,
