I've got an external HD that is HFS and I'm trying to write to it in Knoppix. I tried simply going to File-Properties and then changing the permissions. When I do that, I get an error that says "Read Only File System."
Even when I do Code:
mount -t hfs -o /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
it's still read only.
Wtf.
Also, the internal hard drive of the macbook in question does not automatically mount. When I punch in Code:
fdisk -l
...this comes up: Code:
WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detedcted ib '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.

All I want to do is copy the contents of sda1 to sdb1. On windows, this shits a breeze.
Any and all help is appreciated. I've been looking around on google for 4 hours now and there is nothing fucking helpful at all.

1. If it HFS+, you must go into the Disk Utility under Applications -> Utilities in MacOSX. There, find your drive and disable journaling. Apperently the Linux kernel doesn't like HFS+ writing. You should be set up to write. I believe there is an HFS+ linux driver out there, but I don't think this is the way to go since you are using Knoppix.
Quote: There has been some success in porting HFS+ to Linux, at least in non-journaled read/write. If the filesystem is journaled, it will default to mount in read-only mode, but it can be forced to ignore the journal temporarily (by using the 'force' option).
