Subject[ANNOUNCE] new HFS(+) driver
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

bye, Roman
