HowTo: Mounting HFSplus filesystem in centos6
hfsplus (Hierarchical File System) is a file system which is developed for MAC OSX , In some of the cases we have to mount is different operating system. I followed this method which is simplest way to mount using epel package repo., http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php.
Installaing Repository to the Centos:
# sudo yum install epel-release
Installing necessary package:
# yum install kmod-hfsplus
Now you can get the block dev informations from the Kernel log
# tail -f /var/log/messages

Now mount the devce :
# mount /dev/sdc2 /media/disk2
