Keep me posted, I have a similar issue, in that I'd like to buy an external drive, but need to know something very compatible.
iirc, and I wouldn't make any hardware purchases based on my memory, Linux had trouble with HFS+, but not HFS. And there is an hfsplus package, which may say more. But it's a low priority issue with me, since i have everything backed up to CD right now. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Price [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 7:35 AM To: debian users Subject: firewire / hfs volumes (continued) sorry about the last message I run debian woody at work, and macos 9 at home. I'd like to start backing up both systems on an external ieee1394 drive (not yet purchased). I have two questions: -does woody (running on x86) work stably with hfs volumes? I seem to remember there were some issues areound it. -If I get one large drive (I'm thinking 160gb) will woody be able to see all of it? I know that there used to be some problems with the mac around large drives, but haven't found anything about linux andthis problem. - (I guess this is 3) how would folks recommend I initialize and partition the drive? From my mac, or from my woody box? Thanks as always for your help! matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
