[wplug] Mounting Mac HDD?

[David Gerard Matthews]

Newer versions of MacOS can also use HFS+ filesystem, which I believe
isn't supported by Linux.  And also, as John mentioned, even HFS (withou
the +) isn't usually supported by default in most kernels, since I think
it's still officially "experimental".
