Description

I was following this article to use a hard drive connected to the Raspberry Pi as a TimeMachine backup. Everything was working find until I removed for a short time the power supply of the RPi. Since that the hfsplus formatted partition on the hard drive containing the TimeMachine backup is mounted in read-only mode because of errors in the partition. Thus, I was trying to restore the corrupt partition via fsck.hfsplus but it was not able the remove the errors. In the end I had to format the whole partition and create the backup newly.

Problem

Has anybody experienced similar problems with hfsplus formatted hard drives and the RPi? Is there an opportunity to prevent this problem in the future?

  • Last time I looked HFS support on Linux lacks journalling - so is lacking the basic recovery mechanism present in ext4, and natively present in HFS (on macOS) and NTFS (on Windows). I only use non native filesystems in readonly mode. – Milliways Sep 20 '18 at 08:06
