gyrex Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 Hi guys, Is it possible to include the hfsplus module (used for mounting Mac HFS+ filesystems) in the kernel please? I have to manually build kernels in order to get this feature which is time consuming.
lanefu Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Ha im gonna need that soon myself. Which kernel? Would you be up for doing a PR On kernel the kernel config?
lanefu Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 @gyrex Hey sorry to flip-flop on you, but I learned more about HFS+ on Linux and I don't think we should go against the policy of the upstream distributions. AKA its a dangerous default to enable for the inexperienced. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HFS_Plus#Linux

Would you be up for doing a PR On kernel the kernel config? Thanks for your response. What's a 'PR'? Is it at least possible to automatically build the kernels with hfsplus built in as a module so I can load it using modprobe? I'm pretty sure standard Ubuntu loads the hfsplus filesystem support in their kernel (not as a module but built-in).

It is a way to contribute to a specific "github", where contributor is forking an existing tree, do some changes and commit them in their own tree, and sending a "PullRequest" which ask the original author to "pull" his contribution into master branch.
