Thanks for your response. Found the error message in /var/log/messages: HFS+-fs warning: Filesystem was not cleanly unmounted, running fsck.hfsplus is recommended. mounting read-only.
One problem. fsck.hfsplus seems to be missing :-( (fsck reports: fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) fsck: fsck.hfsplus: not found ./fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.hfsplus for /dev/hdc7 ) How do I get fsck.hfsplus? All my system has in /sbin are: dosfsck e2fsck fsck fsck.cramfs fsck.ext2 fsck.ext3 fsck.msdos fsck.vfat Thanks, Eric.
