I found HFS & HFSPLUS file system support in the kernel so I'm building that now.
There are also hfsutils and hfsplusutils but the later seems to be masked in a way that I don't know how to get around: lightning linux # emerge -pv hfsutils hfsplusutils These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies - !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "hfsplusutils" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-fs/hfsplusutils-1.0.4 (masked by: missing keyword) - sys-fs/hfsplusutils-1.0.4-r1 (masked by: missing keyword) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook. lightning linux # emerge -pv hfsutils These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!
