    Host computers running Linux are also able to read and write to a Mac's HFS or HFS+ formatted devices through Target Disk Mode. It is working out-of-the-box on most distributions as HFS+ support is part of the Linux kernel. However these filesystems cannot be checked for errors, so for shrinking or moving partitions it is preferred to use Mac OS.
