If you do use HFS+, you need to turn off journaling on the drive, while
it is still connected to your Mac. Can't be done from linux (well, it
can, but...) and you need it off to enable R/W access (well, you can
force R/W access, but...).

Also, in my experience a year or so ago, the HFS+ drivers are so shit
that my drive got corrupted all the time, making it read-only which then
needed unmount/fschk/remount to fix.

In summary, don't use HFS+. BUT, then you can't attach it directly to
your Mac again.
