Hello! |
2 |
|
3 |
I have on my iMac an hfs partition, the purpose of which is the transfer |
4 |
of data both ways between Linux and MacOS. That used to work, but, after |
5 |
reinstalling Linux, it no longer does. |
6 |
|
7 |
That hfs partition has the option umask=0 in fstab, which gives it all |
8 |
possible permissions. Nevertheless, when I try to copy a Linux file into |
9 |
it, there is an error message "read-only file system". |
10 |
|
11 |
There have also been instances of a message "unable to read super-block" |
12 |
at boot time. |
13 |
|
14 |
Now I have found here |

|

http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0306.3/0015.html |
17 |
|
18 |
a patch that purports to fix these bugs. |
19 |
|
20 |
What I wonder is whether I can safely apply that patch (which is not |
21 |
very recent) to my present kernel (2.6.12). |
22 |
|
23 |
Thanks for any advice. |
