hfsutils use on hfs+ volume?
by Ivo Krab 16 Jun '01

16 Jun '01

Hi all, I just subscribed to this list because I have one question: Can I safely use hfsutils to "bless" a folder on an hfs+ partition, using: hattrib -b hfs-path ???? Thanks, Ivo

To everyone who helped so much and gave advice on my troubles: Thank You. I won't get a proper chance to work on the machine until next week, but i do feel i have a much better understanding of the situation and i should at least be able to make a better judgement of the problem. again, thanks michael

powermac 7200 hdd
by michael.conry＠softhome.net 10 Aug '00

10 Aug '00

I am not sure if this is exactly on-topic, but i would be very grateful of any help you can offer. Basically, i think i have crippled the scsi controller on my boss's powermac 7200. (This occurred while trying to hook up an external scsi cd-writer to do some file movement to his new machine. I turned the burner on during boot, and also had it terminated. Both these are no-no's for the machine (although i am consoled by others that scsi SHOULD be hot swappable, and termination should not damage hardware). Local mac expert could not get it to boot off cd, so looks like controller is knackered.) Anyway, i have no access to other macs, and no way of knowing if the hdd is intact or not. What i do have is my linux box (Dell precision 410) with Adaptec 2940 U2W and Adaptec 2940 UW SCSI controllers on the motherboard. I know from reading around, that it should be possible to mount the disk if i can get it to work in the pc. what i don't know is how safe it is to do something like this (is the disk real scsi). Will i end up with two broken machines rather than one if i connect the drive to the pc controllers?! Things like the apple advice not to terminate external devices due to the internal hard drive being terminated do not give me confidence (seems at odds with all other scsi advice i have found). I understand nobody can guarantee anything, but if anyone subscribed to this list thinks they know something relevant (like that i should not even think about this) then i would appreciate the advice. thanks michael

First of all the last external SCSI device and first internal hard drive must be terminated and all device in between unterminated. The external drive should not use an id of 0 or 3, 0 is for the internal hard drive and 3 is for cd-rom drive. Turning on an external drive while booting the computer usually will not damage the SCSI hardware but will corrupt the scsi driver on the boot disk, this will leave you computer unbootable an unusable. To reinstall the driver can be tricky. First, disconnect all eternal SCSI devices. Remove the cover top the 7200 and disconnect only the molex power connector to the hard drive, leaving the scsi cable attached. Start up the computer and insert a bootable CD, then restart the computer and hold down the 'C' key. At this point if the computer boots from the CD then all will be well. If the computer stops with a blank grey screen and won't go any further then there is probably some damaged hardware. Try disconnecting the scsi cable from the hard drive and restart your computer. If you still get the blank grey screen then disconnect the cd-rom drive and restart. If you still get a blank grey screen then the motherboard is probably bad. If the computer stops with a grey screen and a '?' in the middle of the screen, then the computer is looking for a bootable disk. Make sure that you CD-rom disk is a bootable cd and it has the Mac OS Installer program and Drive Setup program on it. If the computer still will not boot then you will have to get a bootable floppy to continue. You will need the Disk Tools disk for the 7200. After booting you computer with CD or floppy and waiting for all disk activity to stop, plug the power for the internal drive back in. Wait 30 seconds for the disk to start up then launch the Drive Setup program located on the CD or floppy. The program will display a window with a list of drives, hopefully you will see two drives. One at ID 0, the internal Hard drive and one at ID 3, the CD-rom. Click on the the ID0 disk to highlight it then select the "Functions" menu and drag down to "Update Driver". If all is well the you will get a message "Your new driver will not be available until you restart.". At this point restart you computer from the CD and run the DiskFirstAid program. If the "Update Driver" option is greyed out and is not selectable then the disk was probably formatted with something other that an Apple utility. You will have to update the hard disk driver with a program like the FWB Hard disk tool kit or APS tools. Bill Germer Computer Technician Shorecrest Preparatory School Saint Petersburg Fl

Re: R: Netatalk and HFS

I had the same problem after adding "fork=netatalk" to the etc/fstab/ If You have this entry, try removing it. My zip and floppy work fine without the "Fork=netatalk" line - but the CD does not. From the CD only stuffit archives are read correctly. But maybe at least You can make Your floppy working. Good luck WD "This Mail was printed on 100% recycled Electrons" >I tried it, whit a floppy (also with a CD) formatted on the Mac, and the >result was that opening chooser / appleshare, > >On the mac side, choseer freezes fro several minutes; > >on linux side, I see in /var/log/messages 'afpd[number]: server child done' > >when my mac is un-freezed, disk list appears without the HFS one > > >I'm using netetalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3, on a Slakware 7, kernel 2.2.13..... > >what should I do? > >thanks Wolf Drechsel Köhnstr. 54 D-90478 Nürnberg Tel.: 0911/4719849

Hello world, can Netatalk correctly handle HFS drives mounted on the linux side? And how should I do? I want to use my parallel port Zip drive to write HFS disks.... thanks....

Happy New Year - and Kernel 2.2.10??? ((-;
by Wolf Drechsel 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

Dear Linuxworld, hope, You all get over to Y2K healthy and happily.. ((-; One challenge remains to me to be solved in the next centuries: I've compiled the hfs_0.95-package from the stanford.edu site under a SuSE 6.2, kernel 2.2.10. First I got sa number of warnings, ended with a obviously not-properly-workung hfs.o - and then figured out that there is a patch to be applied. I did so - and after 2 screens full of compiling the machine stopped with this message: dir.c: In function `hfs_rmdir': dir.c:315: structure has no member named `i_mount' dir.c:316: structure has no member named `i_mount' dir.c:317: structure has no member named `i_mount' dir.c:318: structure has no member named `i_mount' make: *** [dir.o] Error 1 Who knows, how to resolve this problem - and first of all: does the 0.95 package work with kernel 2.2.10 - or is there another solution. Yours and greetings WD Wolf Drechsel Köhnstr. 54 90478 Nürnberg Tel.: 0911/4719849
