I don't think it was stated anywhere that HFS+ was wanted. If he is trying to get access to a Windows PC then I assume he just wants a working FAT32 setup?
FWIW ipodpatcher can be compiled on macOS and works without issue. A pre compiled binary is included with the macOS Rockbox utility.

I have been using two iPods every day for several months- Classic 7 and Video 5.5, they both work with flash-Quad, one with 256Gb Samsung and the other with Kingston 256Gb. I have never noticed any problems or errors related to the adapter. Everything works fine, used with the latest version of RockBox

Been faffing around with them for over a decade now. Don't want to mention how many I currently have, it's an embarrassingly excessive number (the majority of them 7.5gens). They do work eventually, but had so many weird issues with them over the years. In particular certain combos of cards (different brands and capacities) will sometimes refuse to work together in the same ipod, but work fine if you rearrange them in different permutations in different ipods. The sheer variety of different weird failure modes you can encounter is amazing to me.
Have been experimenting with getting the closest I can to the 2TiB limit. 1TB+3x400GB or 1500+512+128+32 seem to be the closest one can get without going over that limit (if you exceed it by even a few GB it won't restore properly). Significantly 2TiB is not the same as 2TB - that confused me for a while.

I'd be curious to see what >2TiB on one of these adapters would result in when looked at on a PC running Linux. (there are ZIF-to-ATA adapters out there)
(Just want to make sure that if it doesn't work, it's due to the SD adapter being braindead, rather than a problem with Rockbox itself)
Frankenpod:
The last one I tried >2TiB was an iFlash quad with 1500, 512, 128, 64 cards. Had to replace the 64 with a 32 for it to work. With the 64 in there it would restore (with iTunes under windows) as 27GiB (!). Which is pretty consistent with what happened with all my previous experiments with exceeding 2TiB.
With the 32GB card instead it restored OK and rockbox reports it as 2045GiB (which I guess is a smidgeon below the 2TiB, or 2048GiB, limit, so probably the best one can hope for).
Didn't try the first one with Linux, Windows definitely could only see 27GiB, no matter what way I tried to look at the drive, nor did I try anything clever with putting the iFlash in some other kind of adaptor, only in the iPod (not at all sure what the computer would see if one did that, given that the ipod, to the limited degree I understand it, does some weirdness that obfuscates what the drive actually is and presents something quasi-fictional to the computer?).
Maybe will give that a go the next one I build.
