Hi, I have an Apple PowerBook G4 (2004), with a PowerPC processor, running ubuntu server 14.04 LTS. I have already tried with multiple drives, cables, ports, the drives won't show up with disk -l but I can identify them perfectly with lsusb.

Also, when I use disk -l, I get this:

There is a valid Mac label on this disk.
Unfortunately fdisk(1) cannot handle these disks.
Use either pdisk or parted to modify the partition table.
Nevertheless some advice:
1. fdisk will destroy its contents on write.
2. Be sure that this disk is NOT a still vital
part of a volume group. (Otherwise you may
erase the other disks as well, if unmirrored.)
