You probably have a dirty drive (crashed without unmounting it). This requires running fsck. I don't know if there's a working hfs+ fsck for linux, in the meantime, a fix is to boot OS X and back into linux. (You can also verify/repair the partition by booting with the OS X install CD and going to the disk utilities). Ben. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
