HFS+

Very helpful previous post.

However, it's worth mentioning that this will not work on drives that are bigger than 2TB.

Does anyone know, if the 2GB limit will be increased anytime soon ?, as I have all my data on a 3TB HFS+ drive, that I want to copy to my xfs drive ?

Any help appreciated

Many thanks

I would guess that Debian Wheezys version of hfsplus should include the patch from 2011 which fixed this restriction. Therefore this problem could be solved with the upcoming Version of OpenMediaVault Kralizec.

I know this is not really helpful as you want to do it without a mac.
But this is the way I do it. Plug almost everything onto my mac and then transfer it via gigabit network to my server. Fast enough

Sorry for thread necromancy, but following ryeco's steps, I've now got my HFS partition mounted, but there's no volume name and I can't put the shared folder for a Time Machine backup on it. Anyone know how to do that?

You might have to create a shared folder on a different drive and symlink your hfs folder to the newly created folder.

I always hate that. I never can remember the order of link syntax. IIRC, if I were to make a shared folder called TimeMachineBackup on my first HDD (mounted at /media/hdd1), the steps to create a symbolic link are:

# mkdir /media/hfs/TimeMachineBackup
# ln -s /media/hdd1/TimeMachineBackup /media/HFS/TimeMachineBackup
# ln -l

Or did I get the

ln -s

wrong?

Short:
ln -s /real/path/to/your/files/ /symbolic/link/to/your/files

What you want is your HFS partition in your shared folders.

Therefore you have to change it like this:
ln -s /media/HFS/TimeMachineBackup /media/hdd1/TimeMachineBackup

Now you should be able to see that folder via OMV Gui

Seems to be working, perfect.

I swear that one day I will finally "get" symbolic linking.

It is like the cp command.

It is like the cp command.

Finally. Finally someone said it in the magic words. Now I get it.

U´re welcome
