hfs_fs (Macintosh filesystem) v0.8.4 released
by Paul H. Hargrove 17 Apr '97

17 Apr '97

hfs_fs is a kernel loadable module implementing the Macintosh HFS filesystem for Linux kernel versions 2.0.1 and newer. The current version is fully read-write. I am pleased to announce that version 0.8.4 of hfs_fs is now available for immediate download from the HFS for Linux Page at <http://www-sccm.Stanford.EDU/~hargrove/HFS/>. It is also available (or soon will be) from Sunsite (and its many mirrors) in <ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/ALPHA/hfs/>. There are no serious bug fixes in the release. If it proves stable then hfs_fs will be submitted to Linux soon for inclusion in the 2.1.x kernel. VERSIONS 0.8 AND 0.8.1 CONTAINED A BUG THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE LOSS OF BLOCKS WHEN FRAGMENTED FILES WERE DELETED. IF YOU USED THESE VERSIONS TO DELETE FILES THEN YOU SHOULD RUN EITHER Norton Utilities OR Disk First Aid UNDER MacOS TO RECOVER ANY LOST BLOCKS. USERS OF PREVIOUS VERSIONS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY. For those of you running AppleShare servers on your Linux machine (Netatalk or CAP), this software is a perfect way to mount Macintosh CDROMs on your Linux machine for export to your Macs. The LSM entry for this package is: Begin3 Title: hfs_fs Version: 0.8.4 Entered-Date: 16APR97 Description: Source for a kernel loadable module implementing the Macintosh HFS filesystem for kernels 2.0.1 and newer.

Date: Wed, 9 Apr 1997 23:11:49 -0700 (PDT) From: "Paul H. Hargrove" <hargrove(a)sccm.Stanford.EDU> Paul, I have been having problems since the 0.8.x series with "unresolved symbols in side the module" (or whatever the error message is) when I do a depmod -a to finish the installation! Have you had a similar problem?? It was working fine up until the new 0.8.x versions.

hfs_fs (Macintosh filesystem) v0.8.3 released

hfs_fs is a kernel loadable module implementing the Macintosh HFS filesystem for Linux kernel versions 2.0.1 and newer. The current version is fully read-write. I am pleased to announce that version 0.8.3 of hfs_fs is now available for immediate download from the HFS for Linux Page at <http://www-sccm.Stanford.EDU/~hargrove/HFS/>. It is also available (or soon will be) from Sunsite (and its many mirrors) in <ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/ALPHA/hfs/>. This version has the following user-visible changes from 0.8.2: + Can now mount Apple's bootable CDROMs. + More robust when dealing with corrupted filesystems. + Will now compile without MODVERSIONS configured into the kernel. VERSIONS 0.8 AND 0.8.1 CONTAINED A BUG THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE LOSS OF BLOCKS WHEN FRAGMENTED FILES WERE DELETED. IF YOU USED THESE VERSIONS TO DELETE FILES THEN YOU SHOULD RUN EITHER Norton Utilities OR Disk First Aid UNDER MacOS TO RECOVER ANY LOST BLOCKS. USERS OF PREVIOUS VERSIONS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY.
