[Tfug] Mount Problems: Output

[Charles R. Kiss]

TFUGGERS,

I'm afraid of running fsck on /dev/sdc because I have a feeling there 
are two filesystems intertwined in there somehow, because a) I never 
formatted the drive after I bought it, and b) I once remember, before 
things went awry (see Mount Problems), reading the symbols:  "+hfs", on 
some command line.... was it the MacBook command line, during the cp -a, 
or was it from the Linux machine command line (bash) after an 
unsuccessful mount, I can't remember.

Anyway, here's some output of dmesg and fdisk, after attempting some 
mount -t hpfs, hfs and fat, on dev/sdc sdc1, sdc2, sdc3, and sdc4:  some 
how it knows there is not sdc5:
