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:
Command: Mount
Device: disk0s1
Message: The filesystem may need repair. Please use Disk Utility to check the filesystem.
Error: 0x1FFFFFFF
You’ve the reason! Just a bit buggy 😛
Hopefully they follow working…
@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…)
