[elrepo] Mounting 6TB HFS+ partition

[Ian Mortimer]

I've been given an external drive with a 6TB HFS+ partition to mount
on CentOS 6.  kmod-hfsplus from the CentOS 6 repo and the later one
from the testing repo both report:

   hfs: volumes larger than 2TB are not supported yet

Searching turned up a few suggestions but 4 years old and involving
untested patches.  Wikipedia says:

   As of February 2011, work is in progress to lift this restriction.

Does anyone know if this is still in progress or is it a lost cause?


Thanks
