Public bug reported: Binary package hint: hfsplus
I am using Ubunu 8.04 LTS (desktop edition) fully updated as of today and an iPod mini in "Mac-mode" (using HFS+ instead of FAT32). When I mount my iPod it complains in dmesg that it can not be mounted in rw-mode when the filesystem is using a journal acording to dmesg output (attached file dmesg.log). How do I mount the iPod in rw-mode so I can use it? I have read[1], and as far as I understood, the linux-kernel can be compiled with write- support for HFS+. Does Ubuntu (LTS) support writing on HFS+ volumes (is this a bug in my installation or do Ubuntu in general lack write support for HFS+)? Can I install a package to enable write-support on journaed HFS+ volumes? If so, which one? Another issue is that Rhythmbox (0.11.5) does not complain about writing-issues if I try to transfer music to the iPod. It just silently ignore the transfer, which is not user-friendly. I think it would be better if Rhythmbox notified the user that the iPod is mounted in read- only mode. By the way, the message in dmesg when the iPod (HFS+) is mounted is misspelled. I think "jounal" should be "journal".
