Issues after successfully mounting HFS+ Partition RW Using fuse.bindfs

us flag

I am a one month old Ubuntu user. By many hours of searching and experimenting I have been successful in mounting a non journal HFS+ partition in RW mode by the following lines in /etc/fstab

UUID=8401675d-39ab-3c00-b70f-a408dfc2443e /mnt/HackSSD hfsplus nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show,force,rw 0 0

/mnt/HackSSD /media/HackSSD_RW fuse.bindfs map=501/1000:@80/@1000,perms=775 0 0

The second line is necessary as Mac user UID=501 & Admin=80. I don't know the reason for putting the group id =80 but without it the drive is not writable. The questions are

  1. why GID=80 is necessary?
  2. when i am unable to wake from suspend and i have to hard reboot and though the drive is mounted and shows the permissions as RW I cannot write/delete on this drive. Only solution is that I have to boot in my Mac os and repair this drive using Disk Utility(which do not show any errors!) but after this it allows Write in Ubuntu. What is the reason? How can I unmount this drive before Suspend/Reboot?
  3. Is there a way I can combind the above 2 fstable lines so only the RW volume is mounted? as I am mounting the Read Only Volume HackSSD in line 1 and mounting the RW HackSSD_RW in second line.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
