I also get this on Jaunty, using linux-image-2.6.28-6-generic = 2.6.28-6.17

If I plug in an iPod, I am unable to write to it, even as root, and even though /etc/mtab marks it as rw. In dmesg, I see:

[21537.053625] hfs: write access to a journaled filesystem is not supported, use the force option at your own risk, mounting read-only.
[21538.614973] hfs: write access to a journaled filesystem is not supported, use the force option at your own risk, mounting read-only.
[21558.772508] hfs: filesystem is marked journaled, leaving read-only.

I have tried cleaning the disk, using fsck.hfsplus -r -f /dev/sdb3, which did fix some errors, but the problem remains. I cannot find any way to write to this iPod using Linux.
