[Mac-on-linux-users] Does mol work with UFS?

[Jörg S. <jo...@al...>]

Hi,

I had to reinstall my OS X and decided to use UFS instead of HFS+,
because it's case sensitive. But now MOL doesn't detect the partition
with OS X.

% startmol -X
…
----> /dev/hda2 might be a boot-strap partition.
------> /dev/hda4 is linux-mounted with write privileges.
Could not open '/dev/hda4' with read-write permissions
----> /dev/hda6 might be a boot-strap partition.
----> (disk_open) Device /dev/hda8 is zero length, refusing to use it.: Bad file descriptor

# fdisk -l /dev/hda
/dev/hda

It might work better if you export the whole disk to MacOS.

I've done this, already. But now I tried to use only the 7th partition
and I've got this message:

----> /dev/hda7 is not a HFS disk (use -force to override)

So, MOL needs an HFS.

Bye, Jörg.
