I'm in the midst of a HDD project that requires one of the HFS partition to be locked to prevent writing, I've googled this and came up empty, anyone know of a utility that allows this?

Locking the mounted volume from the finder isn't an option since the tests are using the IOKit to see that the particular partition is actually read-only.

$ man mount

More specifically, something like this:

$ sudo mount -t hfs -f -r /dev/<deviceID> <mountpoint>
