[Bug 734883] Re: mounting HFS+ volumes fails on large sector devices

[Seth Forshee]

rb.eng: If you'd like to help get this working what I really need right
now is the dmesg from a failed mount using the build in comment #36. If
you get time, you can still install that build even though it's an older
kernel version than what you're running now. Then you will need to
reboot, then press and hold the Shift key just after the bios screen
disappears. When the boot menu shows up, go to "Previous linux versions"
and select the test version. Then attempt to mount the iPod, and after
it fails attach either the output of the dmesg command or
/var/log/kern.log.

Also please take heed of the warning in comment #19. You could loose
data, so it's a good idea to make sure you've backed up anything
important.

  Natty Alpha 3

  WIth Natty I only tried now to mount my iPod, but it doesn't work. It
  used to work great under Maverick, though.

  Here's what I get from dmesg:

  [  452.340069] hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock
  [  452.410078] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdb] Bad block number requested
  [  452.410110] hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock

  And this is the error message from the GUI dialog:

  Unable to mount 8.1 GB Filesystem

  Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb3,
         missing codepage or helper program, or other error
         In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
         dmesg | tail  or so
