[ydl-gen] HFS+ mount is read only -- how to make RW? (YDL 4.0.1)

[Eric Dunbar]

Thanks for your response.

Found the error message in /var/log/messages:
HFS+-fs warning: Filesystem was not cleanly unmounted, running
fsck.hfsplus is recommended.  mounting read-only.

One problem. fsck.hfsplus seems to be missing :-( (fsck reports:
fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
fsck: fsck.hfsplus: not found
./fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.hfsplus for /dev/hdc7
)

How do I get fsck.hfsplus?

All my system has in /sbin are:
dosfsck
e2fsck
fsck
fsck.cramfs
fsck.ext2
fsck.ext3
fsck.msdos
fsck.vfat

Thanks, Eric.
