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

[Seth Forshee]

Pierre: Thanks for testing.

The latest patch has been merged upstream for kernel version 3.1. I'd
still like to see some more testing with it before we try to SRU it for
natty though. I'm changing the status to in progress now, but please
continue to provide test results, especially those of you who saw
crashes/lockups/panics with previous versions. The more testing we get
the sooner I'll feel confident about putting this into a natty update.

  Binary package hint: util-linux

  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
