There is the HFS Utilities[1] which is packaged in Debian as hfsutils, but it only supports HFS, not HFS+, and it can only format an HFS file system; it doesn't have a fsck analog. This is going to very limit the ability to run xfstests for HFS or HFS+. [1] https://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/hfs/ - Ted
