Description: mkfs and fsck for HFS and HFS+ file systems
The HFS+ file system used by Apple Computer for their Mac OS is
supported by the Linux kernel. Apple provides mkfs and fsck for
HFS+ with the Unix core of their operating system, Darwin.
.
This package is a port of Apple's tools for HFS+ filesystems.
.
For users, HFS+ seems to be a good compromise to carry files between
MacOS X and Linux Machines, as HFS+ doesn't suffer the problems of
FAT32 like:
.
* huge space waste (in slack space as devices grow faster);
* ability to create files that are more than 4GB in size (especially
good for those working with multimedia and that need to carry large
ISO files);
* ability to use case preserving (and even sensitivity!);
* ability to use uid's and gid's on the filesystem.
.
Users in general can enjoy such benefits since it is expected to have
more HFS+ filesystems in use, as Apple has announced Macintoshes for
ix86-64, besides the filesystem being already supported by PowerPC
systems since the beginning.
