For better, or = worse, nothing really serves HFS+ these days.  Apple=92s = transitioning from AFP to SMB2 when sharing files.  I can=92t say = I=92m disappointed that AFP is finally going = away.

Until someone writes an HFSX fs = device support you won=92t be able to mount a drive formatted under OSX. =  You could mount a FAT device, within = reason.

I=92ve had trouble getting Plan = 9=92s NFS server to serve up bits that OSX client can actually use. =  Someone else=92s milage may vary.  Same goes for = CIFS.

Now if you=92re trying to exportfs to a = Mac there are several levels of pain you can go = through:

 1) mac9p =97 ask fsb for more = details (or google mac9p and find his hg repo or the github = fork)
 2) cifs =97 read the aquarela man = page
 3) 9pfuse  =97 I=92ve not tested this with = recent fuse versions
 4) nfs =97 this shouldn=92t be = painful, but it is

But I usually find = that connecting to my Plan 9 cpu servers through drawterm or Inferno = tends to be the best bridge|least pain (though mac9p tends to be a = really good = option).

If you want to serve files (rather than  a block device) from = plan9 to
a mac then plan9 has an nfs server and, two cifs servers available.
