XBian + HFS = read only - Nicolasrata - 22nd Jun, 2015 06:07 PM
Hi all,
I bought a Pi 2 to do a mediacenter with Kodi and Transmission.
I tried OpenElec, OSMC, XBian, Raspbian and Xbian again.
I have no problem with Kodi.
My problem is with Transmission. I can seed those which are on my hard drive but I can't start new torrent cause I have an error, FS is read only.
I saw there is some problem with HFS file system, but my two 2Tb hard drive are in HFS+ and i can't and don't want to format them.
I tried to mount my drive with rw access but I have an error saying the fs seems to be read only.
So my question is what should I do to have my Pi running Kodi and Transmission with HFS+ hard drive plugged in.
Thanks

By now, you must have tried LibreELEC, dietpi, rasplex, banana pi, and other. Just in case you come back to xBian, test using ext4 file system or other torrent client like deluge.

This has nothing to do with torrent client. If FS is read-only, it is read-only and nobody can write to it.
Do not have experience with HFS+, never used this FS

I also have no experience with HFS+ but...
I assume you have installed HFS support?
If not
Terminal
sudo apt-get install hfsplus hfsutils hfsprogs
I would check the disks with
Terminal
sudo fsck.hfsplus /dev/<drive ID>
I also believe that you need to turn off journalling for R/W.
Terminal
sudo diskutil disableJournal <volume name>
Then you should be able to mount it:
Terminal
sudo mount /dev/<drive ID> /<mount point> -t hpsplus defaults,rw 0 0
I don't have HFS+ so cannot test any of these commands!!
