Got that patch for disabling fsck in the HFS filesystem driver. Looks

Looks like he changed a few messages to the user, and commented out any
place in the code where the sb->s_flags flag gets masked with
MS_RDONLY.
My guess is that write functions in the API will not perform a write if
this flag is set. By commenting out all the places where this flag
could get set, he avoids the problem of write functions refusing to
write.
A hack? Sure, but hopefully its useful lifespan will be short. All we
need is an fsck.hfsplus program.
? Isn't the OS X version (fsck_hfs) part of Darwin?
There's a version of it in HP-UX and FreeBSD.
