| |
Hi,
This is a rather big update to the HFS+ driver. It includes now also an updated HFS driver. Both drivers use now almost the same btree code and the general structure is very similiar, so one day it will be possible to merge both drivers. The HFS driver got a major cleanup and a lot of broken options were removed, most notably if you want to continue using netatalk with this driver, you have to fix netatalk first.
The HFS+ driver has a number of improvements and fixes: - blocks are now preallocated. - allocation file is now in the page cache too - better extent caching - btrees are now able to grow arbitrarily - allocation block size can now be larger than a page - actual fs block size is adjusted to avoid alignment problems - cdrom session/partition support (note that this is a crutch and has problems)
This is basically the version I'd liked to get merged into 2.6 (minus lots of ifdefs and some debug prints). You can find the driver at http://www.ardistech.com/hfsplus/
bye, Roman
