managing HFS drives on linux

sudo apt-get install hfsprogs

Next, mount or remount the HFS+ drive; commands need to be as follows:

sudo mount -t hfsplus -o force, rw /dev/sdxY /media/mntpoint

or

sudo mount -t hfsplus -o remount, force, rw /mount/point

Finally, if the drive was improperly unmounted or has otherwise become partially corrupted run fsck.hfsplus ... as msuch:

sudo fsck.hfsplus -f /dev/sdXY

where XY is the drive number and volume
