My ipod is formatted as hfs+ and i can use it on linux. however i needed to
disable the journal feature; that can only be done from within OS X. To do
so plug your ipod into OS X and run diskutil -disableJournal
<ipod_mount_point>. Although if you plan to reformat the ipod for visit,
the format of the ipod will change from HFS+ to vfat, linux has fill
read/write support for vfat; so writing to the ipod after you format for
visita will not be a problem
