Must install a bunch of packages and then install Netatalk from source. We do so with the following command:įinally we need to install the services that the Pi will be using toĬommunicate with the Mac’s on the network. Over the partition as this is the user we will be using to log into the The final part of step 3 is to give the user pi ownership Also make sure that the letters rw are in the same result. ensuring that we have read/write access to the partition. Now lets reboot the Raspberry Pi, remembering that the fstab file will auto mount the TimeMachine to the /mnt/TimeMachine directory.Īfter the reboot is completed navigate to the directory with the TimeMachine partition and create a test directory to check everything is workingĪlso use the mount command to check that /dev/sda1 is mapped to /mnt/TimeMachine. Please remember this as it’s caught me out on a few occasions. WILL NOT boot without the HDD attached to the USB port… ![]() Partitions is in the /etc/fstab file therefore the Raspberry Pi Only adding a line to the bottom and not erasing any of the other data.ĬTRL + X to exit. Also please note that now one of the external HDD’s Out to the file, overwriting the previous file… So make sure you are After doing so use CTRL + O to write the data Where the XXXXs represent the UUID that you made a note of UUID=”XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX” /mnt/TimeMachine hfsplus rw,force,exec,auto,users 0 3 Now the terminal will change to a text editor with a list of possibleĬommands at the bottom of the screen. To edit the file we must open it as the root user in a text In a way it’s like aīoot script but just for mounting partitions of media to givenĭirectories. Mounts the drives listed to the directories listed. Is read and acted upon every time the system boots and automatically Now we are going to create a more permanent mounting scheme using the /etc/fstab file. These next few steps require that we have a directory created to mount the TimeMachine partition to so let’s go ahead and create that quickly… Once it is allįinished you will be given the command prompt back.ģ – Mounting the TimeMachine partition to a newly created directory The necessary packages and automatically install them. You will be prompted for a Y/n answer once or possibly multiple times, hit yĪnd enter at each prompt. $ sudo apt-get install hfsplus hfsutils hfsprogs To then install the support for the partition run the command: We now need to download and install the correct support for the Mac’sįile system so that we can go ahead and mount the partition later on.īut first we must run an update to make sure everything is current: Please make note of the long UUID for the partition labled “ TimeMachine” One HDD attached you should be looking down at /dev/sda1 where /dev/sda is the path to the device and /dev/sda1 is the path to the first and, in most cases, only partition. After that all the connected devicesĬontaining storage media will be listed. Please make a note that the $ should not be included in the actualĬommand, it’s just to signify the use of a non-root bash terminal.Īnyway after inputting the command and hitting enter you will be UUID of the partition we created using Disk Utility on the mac. After doing so we are able to get some vital informationĪbout the external HDD from the Pi’s bash terminal. Size: Largest possible (Should already be filled out)Ģ – Getting the Raspberry Pi ready for the Mac File Systemįirstly, let’s go ahead and remove the HDD from the mac and plug it Here we want to create one partition for the whole drive so select the options below and then hit Apply įormat: Mac OS Extended (Journaled) – case sensitive if possible Once the drive has finished formatting move over to the next option in the menu, Partition. To format the drive correctly select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and name the device anything you like, I chose to name my drive TimeMachine. With the correct drive selected select the erase optionįrom the horizontal menu on the right hand side of the window. You’ve selected the right drive as we are going to erase all data on the From the menu on the left containing all theĭrives connected to the mac, select the external HDD. To do so, take your external HDDĪnd plug it into a mac running some kind of OSX and open up Utilities Networking devices and cables (Ie: router/ switch)įirstly you need to use a mac to format the external HDD to the case External HDD with power supply like this ![]() Memory Card with Raspbian preloaded (I used -wheezy-raspbian.img) Raspberry Pi (I’ve got the B model with 512MB of RAM) with a static IP! Under Arch Linux for ARM but after numerous attempts without any luck Iĭecided to switch over to the Raspian image. I’ll assume that you’veĪlready got the Pi up and running with a static IP address… ![]() I’ve been trying to get the Raspberry Pi to run as an Apple Time
