Talking about HFS+ partitions, I have one which rarely mounts as 
read-write, usually is is read-only file-system because there is 
apparently someting wrong with the partition. It suggests running fsck, 
but that results in this:

# fsck /dev/hda14
fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
fsck: fsck.hfsplus: not found
fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.hfsplus for /dev/hda14

This there a way to do a fsck (perhaps in OSX)? for PPC partitions?

Thanks,
