I'm using it to share photos with iPadOS, since the alternative
Microsoft file systems do not support UNIX permissions and one of
the Microsoft file systems is even less good supported by Linux than
hfs+. Unfortunately I need to run fsck.hfsplus each time I access a
shared hfs+ partition with Linux. All the times fsck.hfsplus reports
that the file system seems to be ok, but without running it first, I
get IO errors (the drive isn't damaged). I don't know the reason for
this, maybe iPadOS turns on journaling and fsck.hfsplus does turn it of
again for Linux usage?
