Just curious, can you mount an HFSX (Mac OS Extended, case-sensitive, journaling) under Gentoo? I'm setting up my partitions and I'd like to know.

Hi Colin,

yes you can do that.
Make sure you have selected File Systems --> Miscellaneous Filesystems --> Apple Macintosh
Filesystem Support and Apple Extended HFS file system support into your
kernel.

The entry in my /etc/fstab looks like this:
/dev/hda10 /mnt/osx hfsplus defaults,noauto 0 0

The "noauto" means that the partiotion is  NOT mounted automatically at
boot time.
I'm still booted with the LiveCD. I can mount normal HFS+ partitions (not case-sensitive), though the filesystems are marked as locked. But when I try to mount my HFSX partition, I get these errors:

mount -t hfs:
   VFS:  Can't find a HFS filesystems on dev hda13
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda13, or too many mounted file systems

mount -t hfsplus:
   HFS+-fs:  unable to find HFS+ superblock
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda13, or too many mounted file systems

Here's my disk:
/dev/hda1 - /dev/hda8 Partition map, all those fun Mac OS 9 boot partitions
/dev/hda9    Apple_Bootstrap            bootstrap   (800k)
/dev/hda10 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 root (10G) this is my Gentoo install /dev/hda11 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap (510.3M) and its swap disk
/dev/hda12   Apple_Boot                  eXternal booter   (128M)
/dev/hda13 Apple_HFSX Apple_HFSX_Untitled_1 (24.9G) this disk is my Tiger install /dev/hda14 Apple_Free (128M) (I didn't partition this in!) /dev/hda15 Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_2 (896.0M) this disk is for OS 9 /dev/hda16 Apple_Free (128M) (I didn't partition this in!) /dev/hda17 Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_3 (56.5G) this disk is for my /home /dev/hda18 Apple_Free (8k)
