I mount the hfsplus volumes used by MOL (Mac-On-Linux) read-only in linux so I can conveniently copy things from Mac to linux. When I make a change in MOL, however, the changed file will not appear on the linux side until I umount and mount the hfsplus volume, and even then it only reliably happens when MOL is not running.
Is there any way to refresh the view of an hfsplus partition from the linux side, especially without exiting MOL? I've had people suggest mounting a network drive, but under OS 9 I think that probably means installing netatalk and I'd rather not have that running on my desktop system if I can help it. Here's a line from my fstab -- is there a mount option that would tell the system to refresh occasionally? /dev/hda9 /mac/os9 hfsplus defaults,user,ro 0 0 I am running Ubuntu Hoary PPC on a 1998 Powerbook G3 Series. (Ubuntu standard kernel 2.6.10-7) I am also running MOL (0.9.70-16ubuntu1). Under MOL I'm running Mac OS 9.2.2.
