External HFS+ volume not writable

1st Official Post

    Hi all,

    I connected an external HFS+ formatted volume (called "Multimedia") to my Pi3 running LibreELEC. All the content was scanned into the library successfully, however the volume is not writable, only readable.

    Code
    /dev/sda2 on /var/media/Multimedia type hfsplus (ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,umask=22,uid=0,gid=0,nls=utf8)

    Any ideas how I can mount it permanently as a writable volume?

    Thanks!

    You can remount with "force,rw" but it is not recommended. The Linux HFS code is old and unmaintained and is known to cause damage to your filesystem. This is true from personal experience :) You can format with exFAT, it's supported by both LibreELEC and macOS.
