Cross-platform compatibility in Ubuntu 12.04

Asked by Midnight Matt

I have some old PC and Macintosh-formatted media that I want to access in ver. 12.04. The PC-formatted media works w\out difficulty, but the Macintosh-formatted media is unreadable. Is there wrapper software that I need to install, or any other way to solve this problem?

@actionparsnip: That's a good question. The media in question is a CD, the mount point is /dev/sr0, and I haven't been able to get any information about the formatting.

Please send us the full Terminal output of the following commands:

sudo mkdir /media/test
sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /media/test
ls /media/test
sudo mount -t udf /dev/sr0 /media/test
ls /media/test
sudo mount -t hfs /dev/sr0 /media/test
ls /media/test
sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sr0 /media/test

@Mark Rijckenberg: Apparently the CD was hfs+ formatted, because it mounted successfully when I used the `hfsplus` type w\ the `mount -t` command. Thanx much to you and actionparsnip. Cheers.
