Still seems to be an issue in modern Ubuntu 18.04.4 bionic LTS. The upstream Apple source for HFS+ projects can be found here:
https://opensource.apple.com/source/hfs/ https://opensource.apple.com/source/diskdev_cmds/ Debian package for hfsprogs seems woefully out of date (based on macOS 10.4 diskdev_cmds from ~6 years ago) Also see Launchpad bug #1507170 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hfsprogs/+bug/1507170 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49052 Title: no hfs+ journal write support by default (gets mounted as read only) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-source-2.6.15 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: linux-686 Dapper Drake does not appear to support a HFS+ journaled file system. This manifests when I connect my ipod mini, and dmesg warns that: 'HFS+-fs: write access to a jounaled filesystem is not supported, use the force option at your own risk, mounting read-only.' Using force appears to work to mount the device read/write. This was not a problem under Breezy, which makes me think that it's a kernel compilation issue. This occurs while running kernel linux-686 2.6.15.22 Thanks! :-) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/49052/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
