trouble mounting drive 8.04

[boynblack]

hey all,

I'm having trouble mounting a hfs+ formated partition under Kubuntu 8.04. The deal is I ran my g4 mac into the ground and decided to migrate back to a pc. In so doing I have one SATA drive that has all my stuff on it and i'm having some issues mounting it. I get the message "/dev/sdc7 does not exist" when i "sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdc7 /backup. I thought first that i didn't have hfsplus support installed in the kernal, but after checking the old config it shows i do. So I really don't think it has much to do with it being a hfsplus partition. I could be wrong however.

any thoughts.

Make sure you have the hfs and hfsplus modules loaded:

sudo modprobe hfs hfsplus

To load the modules at boot add this lines to the /etc/modules file:

hfs
hfsplus

i did do
sudo modprobe hfsplus i didn't think to also modprobe hfs will give it a try

Also make sure you have selected the correct disk and partition.
In ubuntu sda, sdb, sdc device names can alter after a reboot.
In fstab you can use uuid to mount the partition.

sudo fdisk -l

to list the partition tables.

ok i got hfs and hfsplus loaded but when i fdisk -l

it tells me "doesn't contain a valid partition table"


grr

any ideas ?
