The code is dead for a > long time... MINIX is very much alive, see http://www.minix3.org/. I work in the team developing MINIX. Being able to exchange data between Linux and MINIX is very useful for us and there is no other filesystem that the two share. We have been aware of (and annoyed by) this problem for a long time, but didn't know the cause (and didn't have much time to check). Feiran is a GSoC student working on our project and he found the issue when setting up his development environment so then we decided to bring out a patch. With kind regards, Erik
