Comment 7 for bug 479732

Michael, the ipod was initialized on a Mac, so it had hfs+ partitions. Therefore, by default, linux mounts hfs+ partitions as read only. When I figured this out, forced-mounted the partition with write permission just to transfer the songs and playlists once.

I haven't kept up with the latest on linux's support of hfs+, so I don't know if this is still the case. What should I file a bug report as in this case?
