Hi, With kernel 3.1.0-rc4 any attempt to connect iPod to USB leads to kernel oops. I'd say that stacktrace of the oops is pretty much random and not related to HFS. But I was able to get useful info from it when I recompiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=y. In this case I don't get oops but the following instead: [ 81.508807] hfs: filesystem size too large.

(BTW, before oops first message "hfs: filesystem size too large" always appears twice.) Another question: is hfsplus supposed to work at all? I see it's marked as "Orphaned" in MAINTAINERS and on attempt to connect iPod with kernel 2.6.38.11 (standard kernel in Ubuntu 11.04) I still don't get it working. Although without oops I get the following messages: [ 65.479360] usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 [ 65.686470] usbcore: registered new interface driver uas [ 65.706455] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
