Hello,
Does anyone know how to format a linux partition into an HFS partition?
Is there any command line under Linux or any MACOS software that allows
it?

Thanks

The hfsutils package includes a program called hformat that should do the
trick. When I've done this, various disk utilities have found minor
problems with the freshly-formatted partition, so I recommend immediately
re-formatting it in MacOS. You must also change the partition's type codes
using pdisk, or MacOS will ignore it.

Once you've changed the partition type code, just let the Mac OS mount
the partition and click 'Initialize' when it complains that the disk is
unreadable.
