I have an external drive that I am formatting for a Mac friend, so I set it to HFS+ using Gparted. I am unable to write any files to the drive now, even after running the mount
command with the rw
option. Running grep sda1 /proc/mounts
(the drive I want) returns:
/dev/sda1 /media/username/readwrite hfsplus rw,relatime,umask=22,uid=0,gid=0,nls=utf8 0 0
Note that it is mounted as rw
.
But copying from the terminal or Nemo returns "Error: read-only file system".
Since I formatted the drive on Linux, the HFS+ volume is not yet journaled. I need to copy some files to it before I give it to my mac friend. What should I do?
hfsprogs
installed? tryforce
option.
