HFSPlus Read Write access on Fedora
-
So I know this likely doesn't come up often here, but it's something I have to deal with regularly. Stupid HFSplus file systems for Apple's ecosystem.
Keeping a Apple around for this works but is incredibly annoying and limiting in other ways. Having a Fedora workstation which bridges a lot of the gaps between what is essentially a chasm makes life easier. Besides the fact that HFSplus drives mount as read only.
Anyone have any solid pointers to getting HFSplus mounted as RW on Fedora 30 (workstation)

Already tried this?
Both links is from a Ubuntu instead of Fedora.
https://superuser.com/a/84447 or https://superuser.com/a/365270I know if an NTFS system was not properly shutdown, you end up only able to mount as read-only.

I have not, but the first one doesn't have hfsprogs on fedora 30 (will go and do some digging for it, because maybe).
The drive mounts, just as read only so maybe I can just force it to mount as rw with the command listed there.

Possible, but scary

You are asking for trouble forcing r/w.

Yeah I'm not super worried about it as this is a copy of a copy of a copy im syncing to a cloud storage provider. Just HFSplus sucks.

Why not Paragon drivers on Windows instead?
Virtualize and pass through to the VM.

Because I am operating this from fedora to sync the data to cloud.
Plus I need my work laptop portable.
