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

[rb.eng]

sforshee: Finally got around to testing 2.6.38-10.46 in comment #41. My 4GB gen3 iPod nano now mounts correctly without any errors or complaints. If you require more detailed feedback let me know. It would be great to see the fix in natty. Currently running 2.6.38-11. I'll look forward to oneiric.
Thank you Seth for your efforts to get this fixed!

  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
