it seems that the hfsplus-tools package arbitrary renames its executables. This prevents kde-partitionmanager to fully support HFS+. I've opened a bug [1] for this, but I received no answer.
Anyone knows why those executables are renamed?
Don't know, but I guess that's done to make "mkfs -t hfsplus" and "fsck -t hfsplus" work. See the mkfs and fsck man pages for more info.
I'm pretty sure a symlink mkfs.hfsplus -> newfs_hfs and fsck.hfsplus -> fsck_hfs would satisfy all requirements. This is what ntfsprogs does.
Thanks, I also think using symlinks instead of renaming executables would be better. I will add a note to the bug report to see if this is possible.
