Your kernel has HFS+ write support? To fix a number of HAL-related
issues, I have added explicit checks in libipoddevice to mark the volume
read only if its filesystem is hfsplus, as I am not aware that there is
yet stable write support for HFS+ volumes. Maybe this has changed by
now...
What kernel version are you using?
