<para>The mac ioslave lets you read an HFS+ partition from
|
|
&konqueror; or any other &kde; file dialog. It uses
|
|
<ulink
|
|
url="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=hfsplus+utils">
|
|
hfsplus tools</ulink>,
|
|
so you will need these installed for it to work.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Enter <command>mac:/</command>
|
|
into &konqueror; and you should see the contents of your &MacOS;
|
|
partition. If you have not used tdeio-mac before, you will
|
|
probably get an error message saying you have not specified the
|
|
right partition. Enter something like
|
|
<command>mac:/?dev=/dev/hda2</command>
|
|
to specify the partition (if you don't know which partition &MacOS;
|
|
is on, you can probably guess by changing hda2 to hda3 and so on
|
|
or use the print command from
|
|
<command>mac-fdisk</command>). This partition will be used the next
|
|
time, so you do not have to specify it each time.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>Hfsplus tools</command> let you see the file and copy
|
|
data from the HFS+ partition, but not to copy data to it or change
|
|
the filenames.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>HFS+ actually keeps two files for every one you see (called
|
|
forks), a resource fork and a data fork. The default copy mode
|
|
when you are copying files across to your native drive is raw data,
|
|
which means it only copies the data fork. Text files are copied
|
|
in text mode (same as raw format but changes the line endings to
|
|
be &UNIX; friendly and gets rid of some extra characters - strongly
|
|
advised for text files), unless you specify otherwise. You can
|
|
also copy the files across in Mac Binary II format or specify
|
|
text or raw format with another query:
|
|
<command>mac:/myfile?mode=b</command> or
|
|
<command>mac:/myfile?mode=t</command>. See <command>man
|
|
hpcopy</command> for more.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that you need permissions to read your HFS+ partition.
|
|
How you get this depends on your distribution, do a
|
|
<command>ls -l /dev/hdaX</command> on it to see. Under Debian you
|
|
have to be in the 'disk' group (just add your username to the end of
|
|
the entry in /etc/group).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For some reason some directories in &MacOS; end in a funny
|
|
tall 'f' character. This seems to confuse hfstools.</para>
