#8 HFS+-fs: walked past end of dir

[Rickard Holmberg]

I tried using my Panther HFS+ /Users partition as a /home
partition for linux, with the benh 2.4.22 kernel. The
partition used to be journalled, but I have disabled
journalling a few reboots ago to be able to use the partition
under linux. It started out fine, but when I started and quit
mozilla, the user profile directory just created by mozilla
was corrupt. The kernel log had some lines with "HFS+-fs:
walked past end of dir" and the directories could not be
removed. I rebooted into OSX and ran fsck_hfs, which
reported an erroneous link count (1 instead of zero) but
fixed it and the directory could later be removed. I was
able to repeat the behaviour, so if there is some info I
could gather that would help resolving the bug I could
probably do it again.

my hfsplus partition is always mounted readonly after there
the power failure. it was previously rw and unmounted before
the power failure. now when i remount it again, it is always
readonly no matter what. any suggestions?
