I don't know. Seems to me I've seen it listed as "hfsplus" a lot, but I 
don't know if that was in wikis, how-tos, text files, man pages, or 
where. :( 

Is there a way to find out what drivers are loaded? I tried modprobe -
-help, but --help isn't an option for modprobe. Modprobe is the only 
command I have learned.

OK, I tried several things here. First, I changed the "auto" to 
hfsplus. That didn't work. Then I tried hfs+. Still got errors about 
wrong filesystem. Then I tried just hfs. That worked. However, still 
can't write to the iPod.

I did tail -f /var/log/messages, then unmounted, unplugged, and 
plugged it back in. The messages were identical to what I sent 
earlier, that is, the last line still says "localhost kernel: HFS-fs: 
Filesystem is marked locked, mounting read only."
