[NBLUG/talk] Advanced partition selection

[Barry Stump]

If you are working with OS X, you will probably want to use HFS+
instead of HFS and use a mount command like this: mount -t hfsplus

You can (for the adventurous) mount the partition read/write as long
as the filesystem wasn't created with journaling enabled, otherwise it
will be forced read-only.
