However, as I cautioned users in the Howto post, HFSPlus is unsupported in mainline Linux. But your use case is different, so you have to test the udev rules to make sure. But for the time that I forgot for many days, it did not cause problem. Usually I don't leave the HFSplus drive plugged in the NAS box permanently if I remember to remove.

I've update the howto in the Wiki thread: Maybe that would yield the best results, but then these drives will be purely dedicated to my Pogoplug and not pluggable for Macs I'm leaning toward converting 1 of the drives to EXT3 and copying everything from the HFS+ drives over, then converting the others drives and using them as backups.

I realize this may drift off topic, but it seems like it could be related to the inconsistency in the mounting and access level of the hfsplus drives.Īnd disc related commands keep getting hung up (like fdisk -l or trying to mkdir on a drive, or stopping/starting smbd service).
