Hi,

Could someone tell me where exactly to find some documentation on the desktop DB for an external HFS volume?

I came across some interesting info on Thomas Tempelmann's developer's site and it said that one would have to request Apple for further technical info (?!) but the website didn't really furnish the kind of details I need.

I basically need info. as to how and where exactly (in the image) this file has to be present and what its exact contents (structure) are...links to any sample code, open sources or headers related to this would be greatly appreciated.

The technical notes for HFS+ and the related documentation for HFS volumes (part of Inside Macintosh) don't seem to contain elaborate info on this either.

Regards,

Nandini Hengen

PS. Thanks to everybody who replied to my previous mail on 'embedded volumes'.... I've come to the conclusion I'll need one after all.....at least at a later stage (once I start dealing with HFS+) to ensure that my CD-RW HFS+ volumes don't get erased on earlier Macs...
