Hi Slava and Adrian, > Do you have libblkid-dev installed? Arch Linux doesn't seem to have this package. Anyway, since it works now, I think I can ignore this problem. > As far as I know, you need to use -h option to create HFS volume: This seems to be the point mentioned by Adrian, which is caused by the hfsprogs code removing mkfs.hfs. > I am also working on creating a patch set that all Linux distributions can use on top of Apple's vanilla upstream sources. The current WIP can be found in [3]. Adrian, Would you mind adding a branch that supports mkfs.hfs in your git repository now? Maybe the hfsprogs-related code will be worth rewriting in the future, but this is probably not the focus at the moment (at least for me). I plan on looking at a few hfsplus failures first, or if there is something else planned I'll go for that too. MBR, Yangtao
