I am beginning to feel like a broken record...
I am pleased to announce that version 0.8.2 of hfs_fs is now available for immediate download from the HFS for Linux Page at http://www-sccm.Stanford.EDU/~hargrove/HFS/.
It is also available (or soon will be) from Sunsite (and its many mirrors) in ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/ALPHA/hfs/.
VERSIONS 0.8 AND 0.8.1 CONTAINED A BUG THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE LOSS OF BLOCKS WHEN FRAGMENTED FILES WERE DELETED. IF YOU USED THESE VERSIONS TO DELETE FILES THEN YOU SHOULD RUN EITHER Norton Utilities OR Disk First Aid UNDER MacOS TO RECOVER ANY LOST BLOCKS. USERS OF PREVIOUS VERSIONS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY.
hfs_fs 0.8.2 is a kernel loadable module implementing the Macintosh HFS filesystem for Linux kernel versions 2.0.1 and newer. Note that it is for local media only; it is not an AppleShare client.
Since the 0.8 release hfs_fs is fully read-write.
For those of you running AppleShare servers on your Linux machine (Netatalk or CAP), this software is a perfect way to mount Macintosh CDROMs on your Linux machine for export to your Macs.
Thanks for the bug reports. Too bad none of you found these bugs in the pre-release versions. :-(
