Does anyone have any ideas as to why it stopped working in the first
place?
It has been broken since the introduction of the "new" page cache code
about a year ago in early 2.3.x. The official maintainer (A Sun of
netatalk fame) seems to be still alive, but nothing in terms of fixing
the code came from him for a year. Sometimes some changes show up in the
kernel trees, so that the code at least compiles, but it is still
broken.
Maybe I'm talking about something different here, since I haven't really
been following this thread, but as of an rsync last night, the HFS support
in Paul's 2.3.99pre6 kernel works fine for me... it *did* quit working from
2.3.52 to some unknown date, but it does work now, at least for me.

What works for you? I have the latest kernel from Paul also 2.3.99pre6 and
it most defintly does not work. I can not mount hfs cds at all. It will
let you mount hfs partitions. But try to do anything besides a ls like
specifically trying to copy something to it. And it will lock your machine
ahrd and screw up your partition. Try that out and let me know what
happens. I would think that its highly unlikely that hfs realy works for
you in the latest dec kernel.
