Hi, Michael (and others). Thank you very much for the feedback. It seems that the Apple tools are not exactly endian-friendly also. :-(

BTW, does this filesystem consist of sensitive data or is it too big? If all is well, then I would appreciate a copy of it so that I can run it as a test before doing uploading it to Debian the next time (I prefer not to have a package than to have a package that might cause ill effects). BTW, you mentioned hpfsck. Did you actually use fsck.hfsplus (renamed) or did you use some other tool? This got me a bit puzzled. >> In particular, newer versions of diskdev_cmds (that's what Apple calls >> it) are available for download from >> http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/ > > I'll check that sometime. It seems that the newer versions were polished a little bit with just one source for both PPC and i386.
