mounting Mac Syquest cartridge on Linux
by Ambrose Li 08 May '97

08 May '97

Have anyone tried to mount a Mac Syquest cartridge on a Linux system? I tried but Linux was not able to read the partition table. I am using Linux 2.0.30, aha152x SCSI driver and hfs 0.95. -- Ambrose Li. acli(a)mingpaoxpress.com.

Unix utilities to create Mac compatible CDROMs
by James Pearson 07 May '97

07 May '97

I've created/modified two utilities to pre-master a Mac compatible CDROM from a Unix directory tree that can then be written to a CD-R using "cdwrite" (or any other CD mastering package). The first routine, "mkhfs" generates an HFS CDROM (partition tables and volume) by recursively copying Unix files to corresponding Mac folders. The routine recognises files stored in the "Aufs" format (Apple-Unix Filesystem, part of the CAP package) and both the data and resource forks are copied along with any relevant finder information. If the files are not in Aufs format, then the TYPE and CREATOR can be set based on the Unix filename extension. This routine uses "libhfs.a", part of Robert Leslie's "hfsutils" package. The second routine, is a modified version of "mkisofs" that adds Apple's extensions to a ISO9660 filesystem. Again, it recognises Aufs format files and copies both the data and resource forks plus any relevant finder information, and can also set the TYPE and CREATOR in the way described above. I'm developing these routines as we have a regular need for delivering data suitable for direct use on a Mac - both utilities are still "under development", but they seem to work OK. However, both have their own advantages/disadvantages ... If you are interested, then you can get both of them from: ftp://ftp.ps.ucl.ac.uk/pub/mkhfs I suggest you read the files README.mkhfs and README.mkisofs first.

RE: mounting Mac Syquest cartridge on Linux

I've done it and I had no problems. I first formated the disk (105mb syquest disk) w/ the Mac (SCSI Syquest drive of course) then mounted it on my Linux PC (IDE version of Syquest 270mb drive). It didn't give me any problems though. I don't know if my drive being IDE or SCSI hade anything to do with it. What you format it with may make a difference. As I recall, I used PLI's formatter instead of just reinitializing the disk. --larry >---------- >From: Holger Dunkel[SMTP:dunkel@physik4.gwdg.de] >Sent: Monday, May 05, 1997 3:04 PM >To: hfs-interest(a)ccs.neu.edu >Subject: Re: mounting Mac Syquest cartridge on Linux > >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > >On Mon, 5 May 1997, Ambrose Li wrote: > >No problem, >use /dev/sda instead /dev/sda[1-n] >from my fstab: >/dev/sda /MACINTOSH/sda hfs rw,noauto,user 1 1 >hope this helps > >> Have anyone tried to mount a Mac Syquest cartridge on a Linux >> system?
