HFS+, disabled journaling, still can't r/w

[jackbusch]

I swear I disabled journaling - I opened up disk utility in OS X and clicked DISABLE journaling. But when I try to mount it in Ubuntu, I get :


Mar 20 06:31:02 jakc-laptop kernel: [ 1510.743691] hfs: write access to a journaled filesystem is not supported, use the force option at your own risk, mounting read-only.


Do I need to re-format and re-partition the hard drive from scratch in order for Linux to believe that its not journaled?

Also, when I browse the hard drive, I can look at most folders, but others (my iTunes folder, for example) are inaccessible.

That sometimes happens. Use the command:

diskutil enableJournal /Volumes/TheVolumeName
to enable it again, then disable with:
diskutil disableJournal /Volumes/TheVolumeName
then try again.

Also, when I browse the hard drive, I can look at most folders, but others (my iTunes folder, for example) are inaccessible.
that is a permissions issue. Linux respects the set permissions of files and folders on HFS+ volumes. your Ubuntu user does not "own" those files, and the permissions are set to disallow access to those that do not own them. Boot into OSX and place files in a different location that has full access, or change the permissions of your music folder to allow access to others.

Ah, okay - well, Ubuntu still thinks its journaled. But that's okay because now I can at least read from there (thanks to the permissions tip) which is what I really wanted. Thanks!
