That's definitly not true.  The HFS+ driver has always been well-
working
and stable for writing, and the HFS driver is since it got a major
rewrite shortly after the HFS+ driver was introduced.


It's NTFS that doesn't or hasn't-until-recently supported writing
without extreme danger.

For writing NTFS there's FUSE - filesystems in user space, wich wraps
the Windows driver. I've not investigated it however, as my needs have
been satisfied with the kernel NTFS support for reading, and the NTFS
utils for cloning/resizing.

btw If you clone an NTFS filesystem, don't forget to resize it!
