New releases of hs_fs now available
by Paul H. Hargrove 11 Dec '96

11 Dec '96

New official and test releases of hfs_fs, the HFS filesystem module for Linux, are now available from http://www-sccm.Stanford.EDU/~hargrove/HFS/ The official release is also in ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/Incoming/ to be moved to ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/ALPHA/hfs/ The new official release, hfs_fs-0.7.7, fixes two serious bugs that were present in previous versions. So, I strongly recommend the upgrade to all hfs_fs users. Version 0.7.7 compiles with Linux kernel version 2.0.1 through at least 2.1.14. The new test release, hfs_fs-pre-0.8-3, differs from pre-0.8-2 mainly in that it fixes the same bugs fixed in 0.7.7 and will compile with later 2.1.x kernels. -- Paul H.

hfsutils-1.18b released
by Rob Leslie 13 Nov '96

13 Nov '96

Hi folks, I made a new release of hfsutils called 1.18b, and although a lot of the code has been changed, there should not be any change in functionality from 1.17b. The changes in this release are mostly for portability, particularly for systems (such as BeOS) with strict compilers. I hope many of you will try this version and confirm that it works just as well as the version you're running now. For those of you who are porting hfsutils to other environments, I hope your job has been made a little easier. The official distribution site for hfsutils has also changed; the most recent version can now always be found here: ftp://ftp.mars.org/pub/hfs/ Finally, the official hfsutils web page is still here: http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/hfs/ Cheers, -- Robert Leslie rob(a)mars.org

Syquest on Suns...
by Jayce Piel 12 Nov '96

12 Nov '96

I tried a EZ-135 on a Sun with hfs, but it seems that the hformat command doesn't work... after using it, I can't mount the disk with hmount. I must then use the Solaris format command to make one single partition, then I can mount with hmount, but if I re-use the hformat command, the problem comes again... Is there any incompatibilities with Solaris ? thanks... -------------------------------------------- ! Jayce Piel ! ! ------------------------ ! ! Jayce on IRC...

hfs_fs 0.7 is released!
by Paul H. Hargrove 07 Sep '96

07 Sep '96

I am pleased to announce that version 0.7 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/>. hfs_fs 0.7 is a kernel loadable module implementing the Macintosh HFS filesystem for Linux kernel versions 2.0.1 and newer. Note that it is for local media only; it is not a AppleShare client. 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. hfs_fs is not yet fully writable but is nearly so. If you consider only the data fork of files, then hfs_fs is now as capable as the MSDOS or VFAT filesystems: You CAN: + Create, delete and rename directories and data forks of files with the caveat that names are case insensitive (so foo and Foo are the same file or directory). + Run Linux executables or shared libraries on an HFS disk if they are stored in the data fork of a file. + Read both forks of files and the Finder's metadata of files and directories. + Write, truncate and mmap data forks of files (and the resource fork if the filesystem is mounted with the fork=cap option). + Toggle the 'w' permission bits (as a group) of data forks. + Change the m_time of files and directories. You CANNOT (yet): - Write or truncate resource forks of files unless the filesystem is mounted with the fork=cap option. - Write or truncate the Finder's metadata. The LSM entry for this package is: Begin3 Title: hfs_fs Version: 0.7 Entered-Date: 30AUG1996 Description: Source for a kernel loadable module implementing the Macintosh HFS filesystem for kernels 2.0.1 and newer. This is not an AppleShare client. Author: hargrove(a)sccm.Stanford.EDU (Paul H.

hfs_fs_pre-0.7-9 now available
by Paul H. Hargrove 27 Aug '96

27 Aug '96

Version pre-0.7-9 of my HFS module for Linux is now available from http://www-sccm.stanford.edu/~hargrove/HFS/ This is just the pre-0.7-7 plus the fix that was posted with the pre-0.7-7 announcement and some documentation improvements. There have been no new bugs reported and I have done some pretty brutal testing (I managed to make my hardrive over heat!). If things go well then the official 0.7 release should come by week's end. ---- Paul H.

hfs_fs_pre-0.7-7 now available
by Paul H. Hargrove 22 Aug '96

22 Aug '96

Version pre-0.7-7 of my HFS module is now available on my HFS for Linux web page: http://www-sccm.stanford.edu/~hargrove/HFS/ This release fixes 3 real show-stopper bugs in pre-0.7-5 that could have locked up the system under heavy writing loads. There remains one reported bug, and that is that the sizes of the resource fork under AppleDouble and Netatalk are stored in the wrong byte-order, so Netatalk clients see small files as being absolutely huge. The (untested) fix is the following patch: --- file_nat.c.orig Thu Aug 22 00:04:23 1996 +++ file_nat.c Thu Aug 22 00:05:24 1996 @@ -181,7 +181,8 @@ } if (what & HFS_META_RFORK) { if (entry->type == HFS_CDR_FIL) { - meta->descr[0].length = entry->u.file.rsrc_fork.lsize; + meta->descr[0].length = + swap32(entry->u.file.rsrc_fork.lsize); } } if (what & HFS_META_FLAGS) { ---- Paul H.

Pre0.7-5 release of HFS module for Linux
by Paul H. Hargrove 19 Aug '96

19 Aug '96

I hope to have an official 0.7 release of my HFS module by the end of the month. However, in order to do that I need people to help test it out. There is now a pre0.7-5 version available from the HFS for Linux web page: <http://www-sccm.stanford.edu/~hargrove/HFS>. This release requires Linux kernel version 2.0.1 or newer. This is the 13Aug96 snapshot fixed for the rename() interface in the newer kernels plus metadata for the root directory under CAP and AppleDouble, (untested) support for old Mac Plus partition tables and some minor internal changes. List of key features present in 0.7 that were missing in 0.6: Fully writable directories and data forks. Fully writable resource forks with "fork=cap" mount option. Supports both old- and new-style Mac partition tables. Key features that will still be missing in 0.7: Fully writable resource forks and Finder metadata. Support for devices not allowing 512-byte blocks. AppleSingle support. Portability to the DEC Alpha. (due to unaligned accesses) Please test this release out if you can and let me know how it works for you. I want to hear both positive and negative reports, since the positive ones let me know the software is getting tested. Once again, the more positive reports I get from testers the sooner I will make an official 0.7 release available. ---- Paul H.

hfs_fs snapshot 13Aug96 bug
by Paul H. Hargrove 14 Aug '96

14 Aug '96

Well, I made the mistake of assuming that since it worked with my 2.0.0 kernel that it would work with all 2.0.x kernels; after all there should only be bug fixes in the 2.0.x series, right? Unfortunately the 2.0.1 patch included a POSIX.1 compliance patch that made a change to the VFS interface. The result is that the 13Aug96 snapshot will work with kernels 1.3.67-2.0.0 but won't compile with 2.0.1 or greater. I know exactly how to fix the problem but won't have a chance to package up another snapshot for a day or two. Until I can get a newer snapshot together, I'd appreciate reports (both positive and negative) of any testing any of you might do with the older kernels, but don't go out of your way to downgrade since a fixed version is only a day or two away. Unfortunately, this means that when released 0.7 will be for 2.0.1 and newer only. (At least it cuts my testing down to a dozen kernels rather than a random sampling of the 61 kernels from 1.3.67 to 2.0.12). ---- Paul H.
