I haven't tried it with a Mac HD, but even x86 Linux has been able to read at least HFS for quite some time. There's also a Macintosh Parititon Support option in the kernel that I usually enable (on my PCs) but haven't actually made any use of. I did try mounting a hardfile I use with a Mac emulator on my x86 Linux box loopback and it reads it fine. I believe it is hfs and not hfs+ though. I don't have any convenient HFS+ volumes. I suspect since it works with the hardfile that there'd be no problem with HFS volumes. The kernel documentation seems to indicate full read/write access to Mac HDs with HFS and HFS+. I believe the HFS+ support is fairly new, though HFS goes back quite a ways.Let me understand one thing: how M.O.L. can boot Mac OS 9 inside a Linux enviroment? Can nowaday distros see HFS and HFS+ volumes?
