Ext-2 Fuse Filesystem

bob.spam...@gmail.com (Bob) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:06:21 UT

I see that the release 0.8.1 has "Preliminary support for MacOSX, may
not work ". Has anyone tried this? It would be great if this could
be stablized, as there is really no good common FS between Mac and
Linux. This seems like the best bet since Ext2 is free software (but
ZFS may work out in the future). See

512x512 custom icons loaded by iconDataAtPath: not showing in Finder?

timhenr...@gmail.com (henrion) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 01:40:53 UT

I've got a filesystem in Objective-C based off of the HelloFS sample
code. This filesystem shows custom icons for directories. The icons
are loaded from .icns files in the application bundle. Everything
works OK when the max icon size in my .icns file is 128x128. However
when I added 512x512 icons to my .icns file, all of a sudden the

Persisting save-as problem in 1.7.1

kenneth.halp...@gmail.com (Kensmosis) — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:33:58 UT

Hi,

Apologies if this has been addressed or is obvious. I've been using
MacFuse with EncFS for offsite backup and have encountered the problem
with TextEdit (which also appears in TeXShop) that I have to "save as"
and overwrite because save doesn't work (it is actually more
insidious than this because sometime TeXShop doesn't complain but

Permissions in a mounted share (ntfs-3g)

terry.suer...@gmail.com (terry.suereth) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 01:29:18 UT

My issue regards an NTFS volume I've mounted on my 10.5.3 Intel
machine using MacFUSE. I am honestly not sure if I should take this
up with MacFUSE or with ntfs-3g, so feel free to tell me to troll
elsewhere.

In a nutshell, I want to network-share some of my NTFS partition -
parts publicly read/writable, and parts read-only. However, using

MacFUSE 1.7 is a bugfix release. For details, see:

Since a couple of the bugs it fixes are critical, it is strongly
recommended that you upgrade as soon as possible. (In any case, the

Mac OS X install

ruata...@yahoo.com (ruatango) — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 18:16:16 UT

I'm trying to mount an ext3-formatted drive on my MacBook Pro running
OS 10.5.3.

Advice I got involves installing MacFUSE, but I can't seem to
accomplish that.

I have downloaded the MacFUSE Core 10.5-1.5.1 disk image.
I have run the installer (twice now).
I have rebooted.

At this point the wiki, FAQ, and other instructions I have seen and my

stat update

Hi,
I have the filesystem mounted from two mac machine. (They use the
clustered, shared filesystem). The problem I have is, when I am writing from
one node, if I do the 'ls -l' (technically a readdir + stat/lookup) from
other node, the stat information is not updated. It shows the value of the
stat when it took it for the first time. I thought it may be a

osreldate.h

darkm...@gmail.com (Sean Chitwood) — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 04:28:07 UT

Hi--
I'm trying to build the python bindings and I am getting an error
about not finding the osreldate.h referenced in pyport.h.
The only references I can find to that in relation to the python
bindings are that I should just comment that line out.
Is that really the best solution? Other than joining the python

Fuse Questions

jason.le...@gmail.com (Jason8) — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 06:44:42 UT

Hi:

I've been working through some of the tutorials and have a two
questions.

First, contentsOfDirectoryAtPath - What calls this? It's not in the
interface and I'm not subclassing. Specifically I'm looking at the
YTFS but it works the same in my FS. Second, how do you register a FS
so it appears in the finder's devices with an eject button?

Best path to upgrade MacFUSE without rebooting?

jmanc...@gmail.com (Jeff Mancuso) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 21:41:41 UT

We're closely examining our MacFUSE upgrade path in preparation of
distributing MacFUSE 1.6 out to existing customers and I wanted to see
what everyone's thoughts were on upgrading.

Tenatively, we're planning to notify the user of a need to upgrade
[after using a combination of reading the CFBundleVersion from the

Finder, locked files, permissions and ._ files

dennis.thry...@gmail.com (qabi) — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 07:02:38 UT

Hello,

I'm working on a filesystem that stores data remotely (imapfs on
google code). To improve responsiveness, a local cache is kept on
disk.

However I cannot seem to copy files to the filesystem with Finder. It
varies between telling me that the file cannot be written since it is
locked, and because of not enough permissions (the same file). The

SpotlightFS issues with 10.5.3?

ja...@queso.com (Jason) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 19:46:24 UT

Howdy -- I decided to give SpotlightFS a try today, and it doesn't
seem to do what it's supposed to -- given that others seem to see
normal operation, I'm wondering if this can have anything to do with
10.5.3 (which I upgraded to about a week ago).

When I run SpotlightFS, I can see the process running in the Activity

Bug with MacFUSE & 10.5.3

jmanc...@gmail.com (Jeff Mancuso) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 05:33:53 UT

It seems that OS X 10.5.3 has introduced some problems for MacFUSE

We first noticed issues saving and then re-opening files in ExpanDrive
that were saved using TextEdit/CSSEdit/SubEthaEdit. We were able to
save a file, but not re-open it without a "-43" error issued by Finder
[which seemed odd]. More interesting, our FS wasn't itself returning
