Thanks for the reply.

# hpfsck -v /dev/sdc2
*** Checking Volume Header:
hpfsck: hpfsck: error writing to medium (Bad file descriptor)

Nothing further.  The Mac system where this drive was used is 
similarly baffled and offers no progress.

Lacking of knowledge of HFS, I wonder whether the file system 
directory is broken.

If the drive is left in this state, the owner will "recycle"; meaning 
it will go to a smelting furnace.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelting

The next obvious step for me is attempt reformatting with FAT or ext.  
Otherwise, wipe, partition and then format.

Thx,                                ... P.
