Macintosh HFSPlus Filesystem for Linux
======================================
HFSPlus is a filesystem first introduced in MacOS 8.1.
HFSPlus has several extensions to HFS, including 32-bit allocation
blocks, 255-character unicode filenames, and file sizes of 2^63 bytes.
Mount options
=============
When mounting an HFSPlus filesystem, the following options are accepted:
creator=cccc, type=cccc
Specifies the creator/type values as shown by the MacOS finder
used for creating new files. Default values: '????'.
uid=n, gid=n
Specifies the user/group that owns all files on the filesystem
that have uninitialized permissions structures.
Default: user/group id of the mounting process.
umask=n
Specifies the umask (in octal) used for files and directories
that have uninitialized permissions structures.
Default: umask of the mounting process.
session=n
Select the CDROM session to mount as HFSPlus filesystem. Defaults to
leaving that decision to the CDROM driver. This option will fail
with anything but a CDROM as underlying devices.
part=n
Select partition number n from the devices. This option only makes
sense for CDROMs because they can't be partitioned under Linux.
For disk devices the generic partition parsing code does this
for us. Defaults to not parsing the partition table at all.
decompose
Decompose file name characters.
nodecompose
Do not decompose file name characters.
force
Used to force write access to volumes that are marked as journalled
or locked. Use at your own risk.
nls=cccc
Encoding to use when presenting file names.
