Cannot Manipulate 'hfs' With My Linux

[nujinini]

Hello!

The mac of my son is busted and so I got the HD to be able to make use of it.

I can't seem to copy or delete files from it.

I cannot resize using "gparted"
Nor can I copy, rename or delete files in terminal even as root.

A sample output:

[root@localhost ~]# rm -rf /media/MacintoshHD/Users/junior/Documents/My\ Videos/DVD/Inception/movie.mkv 
rm: cannot remove `/media/MacintoshHD/Users/luisquibranzaiii/Documents/My Videos/DVD/Inception/movie.mkv': Read-only file system
[root@localhost ~]#

[root@localhost Inception]# ls -l
total 3046280
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 502 games 3119387915 Apr 16  2011 Inception 2010 1080p BRRIP[Dual-Audio][Eng-Hindi].mkv
[root@localhost Inception]#

Would appreciate any tips please.

Thank you!

Check for hfs in
# cat /proc/filesystems
# cat /proc/mounts

Probably there as it's mounted, but you may not have hfsutils installed.
hfsplus - Tools to access HFS+ formatted volumes
hfsutils - Tools for reading and writing Macintosh volumes

Thank you Siddly!

I was able to cp the important files and was able to back them up in another HD. Afterwhich I wiped the whole HD with the "dd" and formatted it to ext2 and am now using it. Apparently this problem is inherent to mac's journalized hfs formatted HDs.

Thanks again!
