WindowsデスクトップのデータをSandiskの外付けSSDに移動して、Macbookにコピーしようとしたらエラー（43）が出て移動不可。
Windowsから見た中身は正常。
MacのDiskUtilityでFirstAidをかけても変わらず。
1GBほどだったのでNAS経由でコピー、完了。
この先、Macのデスクトップが届いた後のデータ移行に不安材料が出てきたな。

the feature you're looking for might be called "automount"! on most desktops, you can use the app gnome-disks apps.gnome.org/DiskUtility/ and turn on automatic mount in that drive's settings. i think kde comes with its own tool for this but i'm not familiar, and some others might too.. check it :)

debe haber algo mejor por terminal que usar el diskutility

The partition manager on your desktop environment will let you wipe and reformat to EXT4 (or BTRFS). Searching for the "disks" application (since Linux Mint uses Gnome applications) should surface an app that looks like this: apps.gnome.org//DiskUtility/

Apple now lets you convert encrypted HFS+ to APFS directly in Disk Utility, with no decryption step, ahead of macOS 28 dropping support entirely.

Convert Encrypted HFS+ to APFS Before macOS 28
macOS 27 has yet to reach general release. Nevertheless, Apple has already published its file system compatibility guidance for macOS 28. The substance is straightforward. Apple will withdraw support for encrypted Mac OS Extended volumes next year, whether those volumes reside on internal disks or external storage. Users should therefore decrypt any HFS+ drive, or convert it to APFS, before upgrading.

I've put really new, just purchased SSD inside, but neither 'recovery from Time machine' nor 'install OS' did not recognize that one. I've attached it via USB to another MacOSX box, start diskutility, and just erase. Then hooked it onto the original box. It was recognized. ( kind of bug, correct ?)
