Some were made with Linux mkfs.hfsplus and others were made with OS X's newfs_hfs using only -v. There are no revealing kernel messages? It might be worth doing a full sequence of fsck using Apple's fsck if you have it handy: fsck_hfs -fy <rawdevice, i.e. /dev/rdisk0s2> fsck_hfs -r <rawdevice> fsck_hfs -Re <rawdevice> fsck_hfs -Ra <rawdevice> That rebuilds all btrees. My only past experience with forced read only filesystems (xfs and btrfs) is when I had partially broken them. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
