Write support to HFS+ file systems is supported now. The only caveat is that you
must disabling journaling on the file system.

I suppose that hfsplus is hfs with journaling?

I see
/sbin/fsck.hfsplus
/sbin/mkfs.hfsplus

If the answer to my question is positive,

then why provide the above 2 commands?

Thanx Ed.

That is just one of the differences. There are others. Two others are, HFS+
supports longer file names as well as file names in Unicode.

fsck.hfsplus — HFS file system consistency check
mkfs.hfsplus — construct a new HFS Plus file system

commands have totally different purposes.

I was trying to find out if linux provided different versions
of these tools for the journaled and non journaled HFS.

No.... Journaled HFS+ is *not* supported.

To be more precise.... While you may be able to write to an HFS+ file system that
has journaling enable there is no guarantee against corruption.

So....if the HFS+ file system was created on an Apple system you *should* use the
tools on the Apple system to turn off journaling. Much like turning off journaling
using tune2fs to change features on extX

Thanx Ed. That's disappointing.
I no longer have the Apple MacBookPro
