The hfs+ utilities hpmount, hpcopy, etc. don't do the same as mount etc.
hpmount can only mount a hfs+-partition without readaccess, and the partition is
only available for the other hp-utilities.
You won't see it in the filesystem.
So with hpcopy you can only copy files from a hfs+ partition to other
partitions, not from any other partition to a hfs+-partition.
You really can't damage anything on a hfs+-partition and you won't have any
troubles under linux.
Check 'man hpmount' etc.
