| |
I'm not a list member so IF you respond to this mail please CC me. I've been looking at the archives and see some problems with the 2.3.x kernel versions and affs support. I havn't tried any 2.3.x versions but starting with 2.4.0 I can no longer mount an affs file system. No matter if loopback or an actual device. 2.2.x kernels work greate. Does anyone KNOW whether this still works or not and if not maybe a patch somwhere for the 2.4.x kernels. It doesn't appear that anything has changed in the /usr/src/linux/fs/affs dircetory since at least 2.2.14 so I beleive the problem to be else where. I've tried all the versions of util-linux and all work with 2.2.14/2.2.18. What happens whin I try to mount an affs fs using the command "mount -t affs /dev/sdc1 /mnt" is the mount command just hangs and CANNOT be killed. If I access any files on the system after the hang I get major file corruption. If I imediatly hit the kill switch then it is usually recoverable. Any response/help would be greatly appc'd
