= Linux HFS+ read/write HFS+ disks are mounted automatically, but read-only by default. To remount them read-write: mount | grep 'type hfsplus (ro' | while read disk line; do echo "$disk $line"; echo "Remounting $disk read-write:"; sudo mount -o remount,rw,force $disk && echo OK; done Once mounted read-write, it still needs sudo to be writable, since Mac disk have different user IDs. Would this work to make it writable by current user without ''sudo'' ? sudo chown -c $(id -u) /run/media/andromeda/* Sometimes it fails, even if it said OK. ''mount | grep 'type hfsplus (ro' '' will still show the disk mounted as "ro". And ''dmesg | tail'' will show something like [1906660.136270] hfsplus: filesystem was not cleanly unmounted, running fsck.hfsplus is recommended. leaving read-only. Trying ''fsck.hfsplus'' may not work: sudo fsck.hfsplus -p -f /dev/sdg2 Executing fsck_hfs (version 540.1-Linux). fsck_hfs: Volume is journaled. No checking performed. fsck_hfs: Use the -f option to force checking.
