You know what this reminds me of? When I played around with union mounts, and discovered that any unix application would see the union mount just fine, while anything based around appkit would see either one side, or the other side, but never both. Apparently, there are two different sets of low-level file access routines, and the posix calls are NOT the real "raw OS interface" -- there's a hidden OS with a bunch of different calls underneath, and that OS doesn't know about union mounts. --- Entertaining minecraft videos http://YouTube.com/keybounce _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
