(Arch Linux) Stubborn external drive formatted in HFS will not mount as writable.

I have tried several mount options to get this drive to mount as writable. It only mounts as read only. No luck after fstab options or tutorials/forum posts about it.

Here's what I ran and the outputs

Any ideas?

I kept reading that Linux won't support journaled HFS drives. I didn't have access to a Mac to turn off journaling so I ran fsck.hfsplus to see if journaling was enabled.

sudo fsck.hfsplus -f /dev/sde2 ** /dev/sde2 ** Checking HFS Plus volume. ** Detected a case-sensitive catalog. ** Checking Extents Overflow file. ** Checking Catalog file. ** Checking multi-linked files. ** Checking Catalog hierarchy. ** Checking Extended Attributes file. ** Checking volume bitmap. ** Checking volume information.

I just gave it a try since I didn't see anything about journaling. I ran the mounting command again. (I ran this previoulsy and it still mounted as ro)

mount -t hfsplus -o force,rw /dev/sde2 /mnt/buf1

Worked this time! Mounted as rw now.

/dev/sde2 on /mnt/buf1 type hfsplus (rw,relatime,umask=22,uid=0,gid=0,nls=utf8)
