One potential problem is that the userspace utilities to format,
check, repair HFS/HFS+ utilities don't really exist.  There is the HFS
Utilities[1] which is packaged in Debian as hfsutils, but it only
supports HFS, not HFS+, and it can only format an HFS file system; it
doesn't have a fsck analog.  This is going to very limit the ability
to run xfstests for HFS or HFS+.
