RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Created attachment 418490 [details]
An error dialogue box saying that the fstab is bad and that the mount command does not know of the hfsplus filesystem type.

Description of problem:
Kernel does not support hfsplus period.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Kernel version: 2.6.32-19.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Happens every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open fstab in /etc with gedit
2. Add the following as one of the entries
/dev/sdb1                   /media/Leopard                hfsplus        defaults,rw,auto,users       0 0
3. Go to /media and add a new folder named Leopard
4. Open Terminal
5. type in 'su'
6. type in 'mount /media/Leopard' without the single quotes OR double-click the drive under computer from Nautilus
  
Actual results:
An error dialogue box appears saying that my fstab is bad (even though it is not) and that it does not know of the filesystem type hfsplus

Expected results:
The hfsplus drive should be mounted in 'media/Leopard'.

Additional info:
Support for mounting hfsplus drives exists in RHEL 5.5.

hfsplus is not a supported file system in RHEL6.0 and we have no current plans to make it a supported fs.

If you have a RH account team, please work with them to make a case for supporting hfsplus.

Regards,
