MacFUSE would indeed have to implement a full user mode file system driver to make HFS Standard writable, just as with NTFS. This shouldn't be too difficult since there are already open sourced read only HFS Standard kernel modules for Linux. (In other words, the format is documented.) However, writing MacFUSE drivers is beyond my abilities and this is something that isn't likely to ever gain a lot of momentum in the MacFUSE community. (To put it lightly.) Those guys are simply interested in other things.
A pity too because I really want this myself. On Oct 25, 7:54 am, ThePenciler <[email protected]> wrote: > I too have been wondering if this will be implemented by anybody.
