If you have the support in your kernel, you can use "mount -t hfsplus"
but that isn't in very many kernels. The benh tree has had the HFS+
patch applied for a while. The patch for the mainstream Linux kernel is
available on Sourceforge (http://www.sf.net/projects/linux-hfsplus/).

Note that it's currently read-only, and doesn't support resource
forks or finderinfo.
