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
by Blumette, Lawrence N 05 May '97

05 May '97

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?

hfs_fs (Macintosh filesystem) v0.8.4 released
by Paul H. Hargrove 17 Apr '97

17 Apr '97

hfs_fs is a kernel loadable module implementing the Macintosh HFS filesystem for Linux kernel versions 2.0.1 and newer. The current version is fully read-write. I am pleased to announce that version 0.8.4 of hfs_fs is now available for immediate download from the HFS for Linux Page at <http://www-sccm.Stanford.EDU/~hargrove/HFS/>. It is also available (or soon will be) from Sunsite (and its many mirrors) in <ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/ALPHA/hfs/>. There are no serious bug fixes in the release. If it proves stable then hfs_fs will be submitted to Linux soon for inclusion in the 2.1.x kernel. VERSIONS 0.8 AND 0.8.1 CONTAINED A BUG THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE LOSS OF BLOCKS WHEN FRAGMENTED FILES WERE DELETED. IF YOU USED THESE VERSIONS TO DELETE FILES THEN YOU SHOULD RUN EITHER Norton Utilities OR Disk First Aid UNDER MacOS TO RECOVER ANY LOST BLOCKS. USERS OF PREVIOUS VERSIONS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY. For those of you running AppleShare servers on your Linux machine (Netatalk or CAP), this software is a perfect way to mount Macintosh CDROMs on your Linux machine for export to your Macs.

Mount options
by dave 09 Mar '97

09 Mar '97

Hi all. By now your probably aware that I'm having all kinds of problems getting win95 machines to see my Mac CDROMs. I think I have the problem narrorwed down. I have studied the docs, and can't find an option to simply replace the / character with another character. Windows complains that when I have a file like 'Filename With Space/More Info' it sees the file simply as ':2f Info'. In other words, hfs seems to be translating the / to :2f Is there another way to do this? Why doesn't windows understand it in the first place? Linux does... Dave
