His name is Dominic Giampaolo and his page is <http://www.nobius.org/~dbg/>. > Thus, it is understood that the journaling OS X has is essentially beos > or at least benefits from beos software engineers previous knowledge > directly. It seems that you understood me incorrectly here. What I said was that it seems that HFS+ with journalling enabled is similar to ext3 in the sense that they both have "hidden files" (not that hidden, of course) where they seem to put their transactions. Mounting a journalled HFS+ FS in Linux and deleting the journal files seems to make MacOS X think that the filesystem is a regular HFS+ FS. > So unless ext3 is implemented as beos, I don't think HFS+ journaling is > related genealogically with ext3. I didn't say in any moment that they share any code, because: * I don't know if they share any code; * I guess that there would be legal problems mixing ext3 code with code in Darwin, due to their licences. Hope this clears the confusion, Rog�rio. -- Learn to quote e-mails decently at: http://pub.tsn.dk/how-to-quote.php http://learn.to/quote http://www.xs4all.nl/~sbpoley/toppost.htm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
