Is this dependent on the G4/5 or does it work with the Intel [i]Mac[book Pro]?
This is very exciting.“Buggy” and “filesystem” sound like a bad mix to me.
Yes, potentially a bad mix
But at least he’s restricted it to read-only in this development version, while bugs are ironed out. I used the previous version when I still ran Panther, and it was rock solid (read and write).
@pundit: the release notes say it supports 10.4 on PowerPC and Intel.that’s cool! the last week I was seeking for a build for x86 processors, now they realeased one! I’m happy!
Thanks for posting it!
heh. I tried it but when I was mounting it I got:
You’ve the reason! Just a bit buggyCommand: Mount
Device: disk0s1
Message: The filesystem may need repair. Please use Disk Utility to check the filesystem.
Error: 0x1FFFFFFF
@jp: yeah, I’ve had that message a few times too. Only way I can reliably avoid it at the moment is to change my Options so that my ext2 filesystems mount automatically at login… and even then, sometimes they don’t always mount
(They usually come back when I boot into Linux, then back to OSX, though…)
