Unfortunately that just gets me a helpful "Journaling could not be enabled". I guess something got messed up when I was writing to the volume from Linux.



What about:

    $ diskutil enableJournal /dev/diskXsY
ML's diskutil(8) says:

     enableJournal device
                Enable journaling on an HFS+ volume.  This works whether or not
                the volume is currently mounted (the volume is temporarily
                mounted if necessary).  Ownership of the affected disk is
                required.

     disableJournal [force] device
                Disable journaling on an HFS+ volume.  This normally works
                whether or not the volume is currently mounted (the volume is
                temporarily mounted if necessary).  If the force option is speci-
                fied, then journaling is disabled directly on disk; in this case,
                the volume must not be mounted.  Ownership of the affected disk
                is required.

     moveJournal external | internal [journalDevice] device
                external will create a 512MB Apple_Journal partition out of
                journalDevice and an HFS+ partition will be created out of the
                remaining space if available; journalDevice must be a partition,
                not a whole-disk. The journal for device will then be moved
                externally onto the newly created Apple_Journal partition.

                internal will move the journal for device back locally.
I don't know if it can work on the mounted root filesystem so you may want to try that from the recovery partition.
