While I generally hate to revive an old bugs, the HFS driver still doesn't handle CoreStorage well so I wanted to mention that it is possible to determine the appropriate value for 'sizelimit' when HFS is wrapped in a Core Storage volume: http://superuser.com/a/1088110/148367

I tried to mount it with: mount -t hfsplus -o ro,loop,offset=209735680 macbook1.img /n1/macbook/fs Give this in dmesg [320231.611112] hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock [320293.525940] hfs: invalid secondary volume header [320293.525944] hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock [320629.619113] hfs: invalid secondary volume header After I use dd to extract just the hfsplus partition into a single file, it still fails to mount. Only when I truncate the image file to the exact length of the partition according to the partition table, does the mount command actually mount the image with: mount -t hfsplus -o ro,loop hfs2.img /n1/macbook/fs I conclude that there must be a bug in the Linux kernel hfsplus code, that wrongly locates the secondary volume header unless the image size is correct.
