Note if it's a partition rather than a full drive image you'd
need /dev/sdc1 for partition 1. cat /proc/partitions or parted /dev/sdc
print to check (fdisk won't understand Mac disk labels)

mount -t hfsplus /dev/... /mnt/somewhere
If things aren't working it's likely to be hal/udev/gnome-user-mount
fun.

Hmmm. Now I don't seem to be getting a hal error anymore. 'sudo mount -t
vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usbdrive" got the USB drive mounted on the desktop.
However, when I tried to save a copy of the errors when I tried to mount
my hfs+ drive in gedit, I got the following message:
"Could not save the file /mnt/usbdrive/mount_hfsplus.txt
You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please,
check that you typed the location correctly and try again."
I had to do a "sudo gedit" before I could save the text. Here is what I
got from trying to mount my hfs+ sata hd #2:
"$ sudo mkdir /mnt/osx
$ sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdb3 /mnt/osx
mount: block device /dev/sdb3 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: cannot mount block device /dev/sdb3 read-only"
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Brian
