<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 <userinput>mac:/</userinput> into &konqueror; and you
|
|
should see the contents of your &MacOS; partition. If you have not
|
|
used kio-mac before, you will probably get an error message saying you
|
|
have not specified the right partition. Enter something like
|
|
<userinput>mac:/<option>?dev=/dev/hda2</option></userinput> 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><application>Hfsplus tools</application> 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:
|
|
<userinput>mac:/<option>myfile?mode=b</option></userinput> or
|
|
<userinput>mac:/<option>myfile?mode=t</option></userinput>. See the
|
|
<command>hpcopy</command> man page 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 folders in &MacOS; end in a funny tall
|
|
<quote>f</quote> character. This seems to confuse hfstools.</para>
