Transferring Mac files to Linux

Asked by Ron

Dear all,

I have a series of files and folders in a Mac partition (hfs+) which I have difficulty transferring to a Linux partition (ext4). These are some photos (jpg format for the most part), email files (.mbox format), and videos (avi format) which for some reason I cannot copy/paste from hfs+ to ext4 (even after I took over the "ownership" of the partition). More importantly, I cannot view the videos or the photos or the emails. Is there anyway someone can help me with (a) transferring them to ext4 and (b) viewing them in an ext4 partition?

Many thanks in advance.

Ron

This is very helpful. Thanks. But I don't have a Mac to do the things that page recommends. All I have is a Mac partition and a Linux-based system now. I had made this partition a couple of years ago when I actually had an iMac. I no longer have that computer. So how can I disable journaling from my Linux terminal?

Any advice?

Thanks,

R

Seems you can just mount it like any other filesystem.

Can you help with this problem?
