I have MacBookPro booting both MacOSX and Linux. Now Linux can write the filesystem safely only when HFS Plus journal is off. My life would be more better if Linux have complete HFS Plus filesystem read/write support. So I'm thinking of implementing HFS Plus Journal support on Linux. I've searched and found a technote about HFS Plus format describe its Journal [2]. To prepare and write my application form, I'd like to hear some comments or suggestion about this idea: something like difficulty (too easy, too hard, moderate, ...), some suggested articles and so on. I have some patches applied for the kernel before so I have basic knowledge of Linux kernel development.
