i can't -- i should have noted that i don't have fsck.hfsplus, and
it's not in the hfsplus debian package.
but it's moot now -- while fscking would seem to make sense, i posted
something similar to debian-powerpc, since i found a similar thread on
that list from a few months ago, with an identical problem, saying
that after 32 mounts, the HFS device would refuse to mount read-write.
a couple people from that list wrote back saying that HFS / HFS+
support under linux was sketchy at best now, and my best bet was to
convert it to vfat and use it as a so-called "Windows iPod." so i
did, and now i'm mounting it happily as vfat. yay!
thanks, though!
