I'm assuming you are using the c library and not the Objective-C MacFUSE.framework? You should be able to get this working. I remember it was a pain to get it working properly with the Objective-C framework but I did get it to work in the end. The code is open source with a BSD license, so feel to look at that. http://macfuse.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/core/sdk-objc/ The GMUserFileSystem.{h,m} does most of the work. You may also find GMFinderInfo.{h,m}, GMResourceFork.{h,m}, and GMAppleDouble.{h,m} helpful. On Leopard, you should not need noautoxattr. You should return ENOATTR for non-existent attributes and ENOTSUP for attributes that you don't want to support. On Tiger one thing I remember is that you need to make sure that the AppleDouble (._) files are listed in the directory listing. If I recall correctly, this is not necessary for AppleDouble files to work on Leopard although I prefer using xattrs on Leopard anyway. Let me know if you have specific questions. Hopefully the code can help you figure things out, or if you want an easier time consider using the Objective-C framework :-) ted > > Cheers, > RF > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacFUSE" group.
