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.

Ha im gonna need that soon myself.

 

Which kernel?  Would you be up for doing a PR On kernel the kernel config?

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.

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).

This means "Pull Request" ...

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.
