Huh?  I'm talking about the Linux box, not the OSX.  As I said, I don't 
know OSX from shinola.  mount requires root, so I sudo.  

Anyway, the Mac drive is formatted using UFS, I just looked and UFS is not 
set in the kernel.  Given the latest GLSA (Gentoo, sorry), I'm about to 
recompile a new kernel with UFS support, and I'll see if that's it.  I 
hope so.
