| 02:02.31 | lymeca | Hi, I'm trying to change permissions on files/directories on my PowerBook's main HFS+ partition so that I may copy all the data from my "Users" directory in Mac OS X off before wiping that partition and installing Debian. |
| 02:04.27 | lymeca | The problem is that I can't change permissions because the HFS+ volume is mounted read-only, and hpmount doesn't work beause it says it's not a real HFS+ partition. How can I copy the data off and mount it as read/write? |

| 03:15.13 | evil_andy | I have an old world mac and want to install debian ppc on it. I have an issue where every time I reboot after the install, the partition table is destroyed. I read somewhere a while ago that if you reboot with apple scsi disk tools (or some such) you can just repair the partition table and that fixes it. I ahve since lost the link and can't find it again. does anyone have any idea what I can do? (or where I can find apple disk too |
| 03:15.14 | evil_andy | ls?) |
| 03:16.55 | Mariano | hello evil_andy |
| 03:17.27 | evil_andy | wow! what a greeting! hello |
| 03:17.28 | evil_andy | :) |
| 03:18.24 | Mariano | i've been trying to install Debian on a Nubus oldworld ppc, from a week ago till today |
| 03:19.19 | evil_andy | yeah, I had it solved. but didn't ahve a working floppy drive |
| 03:19.37 | evil_andy | now I have a working floppy drive and realized that the bookmark was on the computer I sent back to my old job... |
| 03:25.31 | Mariano | the problem of the scsi disk partition table was connected with this not-having a working floppy drive? |
| 03:35.38 | evil_andy | no. I couldn't fix the partition table until I could boot off a floppy disk that had disk tools on it |
| 03:35.58 | evil_andy | disk tools will then rebuild the HPFS partition (iirc) and then you can boot with bootx |

| 10:38.45 | pahartik | lymeca: Use "sudo cp -a /mnt/Users /home/"? |
| 11:55.16 | lymeca | pahartik: Why would -a work and not -R? |
| 12:10.08 | pahartik | lymeca: On GNU "cp", "-a" preserves metadata |
| 12:10.32 | lymeca | pahartik: Why is that important for my specific case? |
| 12:10.51 | lymeca | Would it then be able to copy files/directories I apparently don't have permissions to? |
| 12:11.04 | lymeca | I'm booting off of a PowerPC Ubuntu Feisty livecd fyi |
| 12:11.40 | lymeca | Mac OS X got borked and I want to convert the machine to Ubuntu but I need my data from 'Users' on the HFS+ partition. |
| 12:11.54 | pahartik | lymeca: Superuser does not usually have to care about permissions, and you want to copy everything within "/Users/"? |
| 12:12.10 | lymeca | I'm pretty sure I do yes |
| 12:12.21 | lymeca | I'll sort through it later |
| 12:12.36 | lymeca | THat's why I was confused about getting permission errors using sudo |
| 12:12.49 | pahartik | lymeca: In my opinion, "cp" should never be used without "-a"... |
| 12:18.14 | pahartik | lymeca: I can try similar thing, I installed MacOS X again two weeks ago to demonstrate DVB-T on MacOS X... And it can only be mounted read-only because HFS+ journal is enabled |
| 12:20.40 | lymeca | The weird thing is that hpmount can't even recognise /dev/hda3 as HFS+ |
| 12:20.55 | lymeca | WHen it CLEARLY is and can be mounted read-only by normal 'mount' just fine |
| 12:21.20 | lymeca | I guess I don't care about mounting it as anything other than read-only if cp -a will copy everything off fine with sudo |
| 12:22.57 | pahartik | lymeca: I just tried "tar -cf /dev/null /mnt/Users" and "sudo tar -cf /dev/null /mnt/Users" |
| 12:24.08 | pahartik | lymeca: First one reported permission problems, second one did not |
| 12:25.02 | lymeca | Ah okay |
| 12:25.30 | lymeca | So any idea why cp -R might give errors? |
| 12:25.37 | pahartik | lymeca: I used "tar" instead of "cp" as I do not have free space for copying contents of "/Users/" |
| 12:29.15 | pahartik | lymeca: I am not sure, but maybe you could try to find out by "sudo strace cp -R -v -i /mnt/Users /home/"? |
