modules: hfs+ but no mac partition format?

(on both x86 and x64 stock arch kernel)

$ zcat /proc/config.gz |grep MAC_PART
# CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION is not set
$ zcat /proc/config.gz |grep HFS |grep _FS
CONFIG_HFS_FS=m
CONFIG_HFSPLUS_FS=m

I encountered this when plugging my mac-formatted iPod... which was not readable, although HFS+ module was loaded. it was fat32, but we have only mac and linux at home, so when it crashed, I recovered it with the mac's itunes...

and well, this seems rather inconsistent, as HFS+ is rarely seen without a mac partition table... so what's the reason behind that if any?

To know recursion, you must first know recursion.

I agree, CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION would be very useful.
