Does this still hold true? I checked the changelog of the latest hfsplus version
<http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/h/hfsplus/hfsplus_1.0.4-7/changelog>, 
but could not find any direct hints according to this issue in the changes of 
last year. So I thought it's worth asking...

If yes (i.e. still dangerous), can you specify the risk more precisely? The 
kernel config menu (2.6.8, CONFIG_HFSPLUS_FS) doesn't contain warnings like 
EXPERIMENTAL or even DEPRECIATED.

Many thanks
