How to mount hfsplus >2Tb
I'm able to mount a hfsplus USB LaCIE external 4.0TB drive on CentOS 5.5.
However there seems to be a 2.0TB limit.
Is there a way to mount hfsplus to recognize beyond 2TB?
When I try to copy beyond 2TB I get in /var/log/messages:
Oct 14 09:42:52 itsvlan00120 kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device

Until OSX 10.2 there was a hard 2TB volume size limit. I don't know which version the Linux hfs support tools are written to, but that may well be the case. How did you create the volume? Was it on an Apple system, or Linux?
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!
