I don't have any experience working with Mac partitions, however it
would make sense to me that you would need a special Mac partition tool
to be able to view/edit any of the partitions.<br>
<br>
In order to mount the Mac partions/file systems you need both the
Macintosh partition option and HFS file system option(under file
systems) in the
kernel or as modules.<br>
Then using the mount command specify hfs as the file system type.
(mount -t hfs )<br>
<br>
You can check the kernel docs for more details . Usually kernel docs
are located in the kernel build directory under Documentation.<br>
<br>
I hope that helped,<br>

Advanced partition selection cannot be compiled as a module. I checked.
Anyway, I've recompiled and rebooted, and the partition table STILL doesn't
show up. But I found a workaround: I've hooked up the hard disk to my
MacBook Pro, and I'm scp'ing everything to my Linux machine. It's slower
than connecting the drive directly to the Linux box, but at least it works
(and it's not painfully slow).
I'm still interested in being able to use disks partitioned on a Mac, but at
least for now, it's not an urgent matter (it was urgent until I found the
workaround because it involved the computer of my dad's ex-wife).
