7 Why do you believe that you need HFS+ at all?
8
9 mkisofs supports Apple MAC UDF extensions since Spring 2007.

12 Just have a look at the man page and use the same options as you would
13 use to create HFS but in addition add:
14
15 -UDF to enable a non-anonymous UDF hybrid file system
16
17 -no-hfs to turn off creating a ISO9660/HFS hybrid
18 when UDF based Mac OS extensions are used.
19
20 This uses code that was developped by the German Company Helios that is
21 specialized on selling self created SunOS (and now also others) based file
22 servers to turn off creating a ISO9660/HFS hybrid when UDF based Mac OS
23 extensions are used for Apple products since more than 20 years. As Helios
24 uses mkisofs and it's UDF MAC extensions for backups, this could be called
25 the only known mature solution.
26
27 P.S. make sure you are not using the outdated mkisofs clone from Debian.
