I have a large amount of data which must be moved over from hfsplus to ffs. Since I am running -current, and seeking to assist with development, -my- solution was to invest in another large SATA drive, and attach via USB. I will format it with FAT32, copy all desired media from large hfsplus backup volume, boot to openbsd, copy all that data to internal FFS, reformat new drive FFS and use as backups. My desire, however, is to possibly give OpenBSD portable hfsplus access on i386 for future Mac migrators.
A note of caution. I copied a bunch of stuff from an OSX 10.6 partition to a FAT32 USB drive, and when looking at that FAT32 USB drive mounted on an OpenBSD 4.7 system, any filenames that fit into the old DOS 8-character-dot-3-character naming convention got mapped to all uppercase. Played hell with some of my source trees. :(
I'm not sure if that happened on the OSX write to the FAT32 drive or on the OpenBSD read from the drive... but it's not going to do what I want.
So yes, Ted, I'd like very much to be able to mount an intel Snow Leopard hfs+ file system on OpenBSD.
