Ok, this is wrong. You can turn off journaling on MacOS partitions both with the GUI and with the command line tools. man diskutil and search for 'disableJournal'. If you prefer the GUI, try holding down the option key as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107249 Unless you're using a more recent version of MacOS X than 10.4, but I suspect you would have had to sign several NDAs in that case. Now, as to why mount was failing for you this way is odd. I have both journaled and non journaled HFS+ partitions and I cannot reproduce what you had. Just using mount without specifying the fstype 'just works' for me. Although, there is certainly no harm in being more verbose in this case, and if this is what makes things work for you, then all the better. Using journaled HFS+ is *not* recommend under Linux and all kernels I've seen will balk at you and mount the FS read only. What I get in /var/log/messages is: kernel: hfs: write access to a jounaled filesystem is not supported, use the force option at your own risk, mounting read-only. If you plan on mounting a journaled filesystem under linux for anything other than read-only you should use the methods above to turn journaling off first on the MacOS X side. I'll add this to the HOW-TO so that there isn't any confusion on this.
