No....  Journaled HFS+ is *not* supported. 

To be more precise....  While you may be able to write to an HFS+ file system that
has journaling enable there is no guarantee against corruption. 

So....if the HFS+ file system was created on an Apple system you *should* use the
tools on the Apple system to turn off journaling.   Much like turning off journaling
using tune2fs to change features on extX
