Do you still see problems with your test case with recent kernels? I'm a bit tired of using vfat to interchange files between my systems and I would like to use something that can include symlinks and is understood both by Linux and MacOS X. The best option so far seems to be HFS+ (but I'm open to use other filesystems). Anyway, I remember someone once said that he could not get the kernel to compile when doing the compile on a HFS+ fs. I decide to try what the actual result would be with a new kernel (2.6.8-rc3). I created an hfsplus image with the command you suggested: > hdiutil create -megabytes 1024 -fs HFS+ -layout NONE hdibig.img But the compilation still failed near the linking phase (it complained about symbols related to jiffies not being found). I don't know what could be the cause of the problem, but I suspect that it would have something to do with case-sensitiveness. Are there other people using Linux's hfsplus driver with success? BTW, is there any utility to create a HFS+ fs in Linux? It seems that the hfsplus package does not include anything to actually create such filesystems. Thanks for any comments or experiences, Rog�rio. -- Learn to quote e-mails decently at: http://pub.tsn.dk/how-to-quote.php http://learn.to/quote
