Hi, I've compiled hfs_utils on my FreeBSD. It's an mtools-like package which enables to read/write Macintosh's HFS filesystem. When tried it on my CDROM it said that it can't lock the device. After disabling the lock function it worked well. I wonder if it's a problem related to FreeBSD or just the program did something wrong. (It's originally for Linux and the line acquiring the lock is: if( fcntl(vol->fd, F_SETLK, &lock) < 0) .. ) Thanks, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sebestyen Zoltan It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up. szoli@caesar.elte.hu But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
