Technically speaking, inode write operation should never happened for corrupted volume because the corruption should be detected during b-tree node initialization time. If we would like to achieve such nice state of HFS/HFS+ drivers, then it requires a lot of refactoring/implementation efforts. I am not sure that it is worth to do because not so many guys really use HFS/HFS+ as the main file system under Linux. Thanks, Slava.
