Yes, I am aware of the darling-dmg project - but I was talking
about interoperability, and there is nothing that beats hooking
up genuine Apple code somehow. AFAIK darling-dmg is an
independent HFS+ implementation, just like the linux kernel's.

This is important for dual-boot systems where journals written
by one OS would be applied and played back by another OS, in an unclean
shutdown. (and especially subsequent auto-reboot into the other OS).

For the purpose of journal inter-operability, read-only implementation
is also of little use.

I wasn't talking about using fuse just for the sake of it - I was talking about
using genuine Apple HFS+ related code somehow (and "via fuse" being
one such route). If you could hook up apple's HFS+ kernel modules
directly to the linux kernel by some kind of on-the-fly binary API
translation, that would be most interesting; other than that, source-level
hooks is the next best thing.

 About
 the fuse-based HFS+ project 
 Have a look at https://github.com/LubosD/darling-dmg
 
 
 darling-dmgThis project allows ordinary
 users to directly mount OS X disk images under Linux via
 FUSE.
 
 Supported file
 types
 DMG (UDIF) files
 containing an Apple Disk Image.Apple Disk Images containing
 an HFS+/HFSX file system.
 HFS+/HFSX file systems
 (incl. file systems embedded within HFS).As you can see, the list is
 recursive. That means darling-dmg, can mount DMG files or
 unpacked DMG files or a single partition carved out of the
 latter.
 
 Read only access
