How to Format a Hard Drive in Linux. Mounting USB hard drive - unknown filesystem type 'hfsplus' List all mounted drives and their partitions from the Terminal. To list all mounted drives and their accompanying partitions from the Terminal, type the following command: diskutil list This will give you feedback like the following, listing out the mounted drives, their volume names, the size of the drive and partitions, their partition types, and their identifier location:$ diskutil list /dev/disk0 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *121.3 GB disk0 1: EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1 2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 120.5 GB disk0s2 3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3 /dev/disk1 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: Apple_partition_scheme *21.0 MB disk1 1: Apple_partition_map 32.3 KB disk1s1 2: Apple_HFS Sample-OSXDaily-Drive 1.2.6 20.9 MB disk1s2 This is also demonstrated in the screenshot shown above with a much more accurate representation of formatting, when it is printed in your own terminal it will display nicely in tables, making it easily scannable and readable.

Mounting Mac HFS disks. Q I'm running Mac OS X (10.4 and 10.5) and Linux (Ubuntu and Fedora) systems at my house and I have external hard drives. My problems arise when backing up a system or files; there is plenty of information on Windows/Linux or Windows/Mac filesystem compatibility, but not on Linux/Mac options. I have a few 1TB external hard drives and need to store files over the 4GB limit of FAT32. I tried using NTFS, which works, but MacOS will start giving me an 'error 36' message. Linux used to have support for Apple filesystems but I do not see any support for Mac OS Extended (journalled) filesystems. Also Linux used to have terrible problems with Mac filesystem after the 30th mount and would then consider the drive dirty and unusable.

Any recommendations on what format I should use for external drives between OSes? A The Linux kernel does support the newer HFS+ MacOS filesystem, with some limitations. Mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdb1 /mnt/external. OS X Lion Time Machine backup to Debian | Tristan Waddington. When OS X Lion was released I was eager to try out the updated FileVault and Time Machine features. Moving from an encrypted home directory to true full-disk encryption was a dream. I was also quite excited to find out if the new implementation of FileVault would work well with Time Machine.

I’d previously set up a Time Machine volume on my Debian file-server by installing netatalk and avahi. Unfortunately, it seems OS 10.7 (Lion) requires netatalk 2.2, which is currently in beta. However, it’s quite simple to install the beta version of the package and it seems to run just fine. To install netatalk 2.2~beta4-1 you’ll need to add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file: You can also use any of the mirrors listed here if they’re closer.

Then run the following commands to install or upgrade netatalk: If you had a previous install of netatalk it may detect changes to your local configuration files. The netatalk service will be restarted by the installer after it completes. HowTo: Make Ubuntu A Perfect Mac File Server And Time Machine Volume [Update6] ¦ kremalicious. For quite some time I use my Ubuntu machine as a file and backup server for all Macs in my network which is perfectly accessible from the Finder in Mac OS X. There are some instructions available in the web for this task but all failed in my case so I wrote my own tutorial with all the steps needed for it to work properly. So here’s my little Tutorial for connecting Mac OS X Leopard with Ubuntu and using your Ubuntu machine as a backup volume for Time Machine but all steps can be reproduced on every Linux box and they work with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger too.

At the end of this tutorial you will have a server which shows up in the Finder sidebar and behaves just like a Mac server when accessing it from your Macs. To be perfectly integrated with Mac OS X we’re going to use Apple’s Filing Protocol (AFP) for network and file sharing. Although this Tutorial involves using the Terminal in Ubuntu and looks a bit geeky it’s very easy even for beginners. Sudo dpkg -i ~/netatalk_2*.deb <? Or -5014 error.

What is armhf The Debian Squeeze image originally issued by the Raspberry Pi foundation as the recommended distribution used "soft float" settings. The official Raspberry Pi distributions are now optimized for ARMV6 and for "hard float" which should have better performance on certain CPU intensive tasks. There are some info on the news groups that "hard float" optimization can speed up floating point operating up to 10x, please read detailed discussion on the Raspberry Pi forums.

Netatalk - Networking Apple Macintosh through Open Source. Build a Netatalk Time Capsule for OSX Lion 10.7 using Debian 6.0 Squeeze : Mike Palmer. After going to the Apple Store with a friend and seeing the $300+ Apple Time Capsule I decided to see if I could do the same thing with Netatalk. Turns out I could but if you’re using Debian stable like me you need to get at netatalk 2.2.x before it’ll work with OSX Lion 10.7.x.

After seeing a variety of other examples out there on the net and getting a little confused as to why they were doing certain things I decided to just post how I did it. Also, rather than install things from source I like to use debian packages to keep servers clean. But there was a small problem due to a netatalk make bug that debian’s package didn’t account for. So I will post those packages I backported to stable for this. Packages Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) AMD64 netatalk_2.2.1-1_amd64.deb Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) i386 netatalk_2.2.1-1_i386.deb Netatalk Time Capsule Server Setup Make a directory to store your time machine data: root@srv:$ mkdir /var/timemachine Now mark the volume saying it is a supported time machine share: Remote VNC and SSH to your Raspberry Pi from a Mac | SK Pang Electronics Ltd.

This article will show you how to setup your Raspberry for remote SSH and VNC control. If you don’t have enough room on your desk for a monitor and keyboard for your Raspberry Pi then a remote SSH and VNC can be an option. Assuming you are using the Debian distro and default user name and password of pi:raspberry. If you are using the Raspbian distro then the easiest way to enable SSH is to use rasp-config. Enabling SSH By default the SSH is off. Sudo bash cd /boot mv boot_enable_ssh.rc boot.rc Reboot your Pi. You need to make a note of your Pi’s ip address. Ifconfig On your Mac start the Terminal.app and type: ssh -lpi 192.168.1.21 Replace the ip address with your own Pi’s one. Raspberry Installing VNC Server Connect to your Raspberry Pi via SSH or type in locally. sudo apt-get install tightvncserver This will install the VNC server. Startx & Start the VNC server, it will then ask for a password.

Tightvncserver On your Mac install a VNC client such as Chicken of the VNC. Tags: Raspberry Pi, ssh, vnc.
