Is anyone out there working on it? There is some mythical group out there working on HFS+. I guess they should be able to fix HFS, too.

It has been broken since the introduction of the "new" page cache code about a year ago in early 2.3.x. The official maintainer (A Sun of netatalk fame) seems to be still alive, but nothing in terms of fixing the code came from him for a year. Sometimes some changes show up in the kernel trees, so that the code at least compiles, but it is still broken. > I know its not a showstopper but it would sure be nice. Ill I think it is pretty much a showstopper for LinuxPPC. The recommended installations all use HFS partitions ("exchange" and now even "/boot") mounted under Linux. None of them work under 2.3.x. > probally try to look over stuff, but I dont know If ill be able to fix it, This would really be great. > any and all help and info, or directions to discussions about the topic > would be greatly apprecaited.
