Public bug reported:

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.
