To mount USB memory stick (MAC format) on KNOPPIX
Hi, all,
I want to ask a question on how to mount USB memory stick (in MAC format) on KNOPPIX. There is an old page about it, but the solution is just formate USB memory to VFAT or NTFS. The link is at:
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3575
Well, as we know, it is just to type this command line to mount USB stick
mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda
or add this line in /etc/fstab and mount /sda
/dev/sda /sda auto noauto,user 0 0
This should work if the file type of the stick is vfat or ntfs. The problem is that there are MAC users. They don't want to format anything to MS-compatible formate.
Could anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

the fileformats of mac should be suported, perhaps not the one used for OSX, but i think so.
using
Code:
mount -t auto /dev/sdXY /mnt/sdXY should work.
or perhaps
Code:
mount -t auto /dev/sdX /mnt/sdX should work.
atleast if you modprobe for the module to read the filesystem in question, your chanses are atleast good to great to get it working.
or
you could try a few others i guess.

Code:
mount -t auto /dev/sda /mnt/sda
works.
In fact, the system showed me a small trick. Before I upgraded it, the device for the USB stick was /dev/sda; for some unknown reason (maybe I pluged in my friend's on the other USB port), dmesg says:
Code:
scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: USB 2.0 Model: Mobile Disk Rev:
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

sda: Write Protect is off
sda: sda1
WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured
Now I just mount it on /dev/sda1. Still, it is bit weird why it went to sda1. ...

sda is the whole disk, sda1 is the formatted partition. Same as hda is the first hd and hda1 the first partition on it.

I have been following this thread and hope one of you can help.
I have hfs & hfsplus on my knoppix 3.4 I can modprobe and then lsmod and see that they are installed. I am trying to mount cd's that are formated for hfs & hfsplus and whatever I do to fstab I still get
Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,
or too many mounted file systems
My dvd drive works fine with iso9660. I have tried every thing I could think of in editing fstab but I still get the above error message.

Mac CD's are hfs & hfs+ I have found out. And I can get hfsutils to see the disc but I can't actually view it or do anything with it
I've been using the "hmount" command and the commandline does indicate that the disk is recognized:
john@ixan:~$ hmount /dev/scd0
/dev/scd0: contains 1 HFS partition
Volume name is "iPhoto Library" (locked)
Volume was created on Wed Dec 31 19:56:08 1969
Volume was last modified on Wed Dec 31 19:56:08 1969
Volume has 0 bytes free
john@ixan:~$ hls /dev/scd0
hls: "/dev/scd0": no such file or directory
john@ixan:~$ hpwd /dev/scd0
Usage: hpwd
john@ixan:~$ hpwd
iPhoto Library:
john@ixan:~$ cd iPhoto Library
bash: cd: iPhoto: No such file or directory
john@ixan:~$ hpwd
iPhoto Library:
I need to look at the manual some more....

I guess I could create a new topic but I don't want to be accused of spamming the list.
I have had some slight progress-I think..
This is my fstab entry for the dvd/cdrom device:
# Added by JY 11-23-04
/dev/scd0 /mnt/hfs defaults,ro,noauto,users,noexec 0 0
and this is the terminal output:
root@ixan:~# hmount /dev/scd0
/dev/scd0: contains 1 HFS partition
Volume name is "iPhoto Library" (locked)
Volume was created on Wed Dec 31 19:56:08 1969
Volume was last modified on Wed Dec 31 19:56:08 1969
Volume has 0 bytes free
But when I click on the desktop icon to view the files I now get this:
Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: only root can mount /dev/scd0 on /mnt/hfs
I also don't know what those dates "1969" are about since the files were created this year. Maybe that's nothing though. I'll keep working on it.
