Earlier Macintosh -models used MFS (``Macintosh File System''), which is not supported, -MacOS 8.1 and newer support a filesystem called HFS+ that's similar to -HFS but is extended in various areas. Use the hfsplus filesystem driver -to access such filesystems from Linux. - - -Mount options -============= - -When mounting an HFS filesystem, the following options are accepted: - - creator=cccc, type=cccc - Specifies the creator/type values as shown by the MacOS finder - used for creating new files. Default values: '????'. - - uid=n, gid=n - Specifies the user/group that owns all files on the filesystems. - Default: user/group id of the mounting process. - - dir_umask=n, file_umask=n, umask=n - Specifies the umask used for all files , all directories or all - files and directories. Defaults to the umask of the mounting process. - - session=n - Select the CDROM session to mount as HFS filesystem. Defaults to - leaving that decision to the CDROM driver. This option will fail - with anything but a CDROM as underlying devices. - - part=n - Select partition number n from the devices. Does only makes - sense for CDROMS because they can't be partitioned under Linux. - For disk devices the generic partition parsing code does this - for us. Defaults to not parsing the partition table at all. - - quiet - Ignore invalid mount options instead of complaining. - - -Writing to HFS Filesystems -========================== - -HFS is not a UNIX filesystem, thus it does not have the usual features you'd -expect: - - o You can't modify the set-uid, set-gid, sticky or executable bits or the uid - and gid of files. - o You can't create hard- or symlinks, device files, sockets or FIFOs. - -HFS does on the other have the concepts of multiple forks per file. These -non-standard forks are represented as hidden additional files in the normal -filesystems namespace which is kind of a cludge and makes the semantics for -the a little strange: - - o You can't create, delete or rename resource forks of files or the - Finder's metadata. - o They are however created (with default values), deleted and renamed - along with the corresponding data fork or directory. - o Copying files to a different filesystem will loose those attributes - that are essential for MacOS to work. - - -Creating HFS filesystems -=================================== - -The hfsutils package from Robert Leslie contains a program called -hformat that can be used to create HFS filesystem. See -<http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/hfs/> for details. - - -Credits -======= - -The HFS drivers was written by Paul H. Hargrovea (hargrove@sccm.Stanford.EDU). -Roman Zippel (roman@ardistech.com) rewrote large parts of the code and brought -in btree routines derived from Brad Boyer's hfsplus driver. |
