I have a HFS+ external disk that I wish to use with Ubuntu.
This is what I have done till now:
Following the advice on
Code:
http://raamdev.com/2008/mounting-hfs-with-write-access-in-debian/
I went for
sudo apt-get install hfsplus hfsutils hfsprogs
After which, I edited my fstab entry to include:
8664920a-12b8-375e-98df-20100d87646e /media/katya hfs+ user ,rw,force 0 2
Then, through Nautilus, I tried changing permissions for the external drive. I was unable to do that.
I get the following error message:
Sorry, could not change the permissions of "WD SmartWare": Error setting permissions: Read-only file system
and
The owner could not be changed. Sorry, could not change the owner of "katya": Error setting owner: Read-only file system
'katya' is my external HFS+ drive's name.
I understand that disabling 'journaling' in HFS+ is not a good idea as it is a useful function.
I need to access the drive urgently.
What's the solution?
