While I generally hate to revive an old bugs, the HFS driver still
doesn't handle CoreStorage well so I wanted to mention that it is
possible to determine the appropriate value for 'sizelimit' when HFS is
wrapped in a Core Storage volume: http://superuser.com/a/1088110/148367

Title:
  hfsplus partition will not mount

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have a hard disk image of a Mac OS X system.
  macbook1.img is the entire disk, including partition table.
  hfs1.img is part of the entire disk from offset 209735680 onwards.
  hfs2.img is part of the entire disk from offset 209735680 onwards and then truncated according to the length of the partition.
  I tried to mount it with:
  mount -t hfsplus -o ro,loop,offset=209735680 macbook1.img /n1/macbook/fs
  Give this in dmesg
  [320231.611112] hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock
  [320293.525940] hfs: invalid secondary volume header
  [320293.525944] hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock
  [320629.619113] hfs: invalid secondary volume header

  After I use dd to extract just the hfsplus partition into a single file, it still fails to mount.
  Only when I truncate the image file to the exact length of the partition according to the partition table, does the mount command actually mount the image with:
  mount -t hfsplus -o ro,loop hfs2.img /n1/macbook/fs

  I conclude that there must be a bug in the Linux kernel hfsplus code,
  that wrongly locates the secondary volume header unless the image size
  is correct.
