Hi all,
I have a PC with three hard disks, with OpenSUSE Leap installed on one of them and two others partitioned as HFS+. I can access the two Mac drives after entering the password, but the problem is only some files on them are accessible. Others have a lock icon on them and are not even available for reading.

Hi
Open the folder in a terminal and you will see different
ownership/groups and permissions.
For example via Tumbleweed I see my user uid on linux is 1000, on hfs+
is 501, likewise linux group is users, hfs+ is cdrom…
On hfs+ permissions on for example Music is
drwx------ 1 501 cdrom 23 Feb 1 07:36 Music
So only the owner (user 501) can access…
What is your end goal, sharing the files or recovering the files?

Thanks for replying, Malcolm!
What is the Terminal command to find out the permission type?
I want to create Linux partitions on the same drives and copy data from HFS+ to Linux. But first I need to have access to all HFS+ data.
Hi
Use the command ls -lah if you run your copy command as root user with the -ar option you will be fine, just need to reset ownership of files and directory on the linux partition.
For example here I’m copying just one file over;
lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 111.8G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 200M 0 part /boot/efi
├─sda2 8:2 0 57G 0 part <-- osX
├─sda3 8:3 0 619.9M 0 part
├─sda4 8:4 0 30G 0 part /
├─sda5 8:5 0 20G 0 part /data
└─sda6 8:6 0 4G 0 part [SWAP]
mount
/dev/sda2 on /run/media/user/disk0s2 type hfsplus (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,umask=22,uid=0,gid=0,nls=utf8,uhelper=udisks2)
/dev/sda2 on /var/run/media/user/disk0s2 type hfsplus (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,umask=22,uid=0,gid=0,nls=utf8)

I guess you could use the file manager GUI as root user to drag’n’drop, me I prefer command line and wildcards 
I’ve run Dolphin in super user mode and now can access all files without a problem. Thanks for helping, Malcolm!
