Title:
  HFS+ partition fails to remount read-write after crash / forced reboot

Status in hfsplus package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I am using a double boot MacBook with OSX and Ubuntu.
  I have an HFS+ partition to share data [1] between the 2 systems.

  For a while I have been experiencing freezes and crashes with no other
  issue than to power off the machine. As a consequence, the HFS+
  partition is unmounted not cleanly, and after I reboot, the HFS+
  partition is read only, and I fail to remount it read-write.

  
  In the past (like 6+ years ago) I found a workaround by running an HFS related tool, which as a side effect was remounting the partition cleanly. Unfortunately I forgot what it was.

  Currently, as a workaround, I pay a short visit to OSX, which mounts
  the partition correctly; then when I reboot back to ubuntu the
  partition is mounted read-write. But this round trip is a pain.

  
  (I file this report against the package hfsplus, as a first heuristic, because I really don't know where it belongs)

  
  [1] this is the most reliable filesystem I found to be used both by OSX and Linux, and including the features I need (like access rights, file names, and symlinks). If you know a better one, this might solve my specific situation.
