I am under the impression that journalling in HFS+ was implemented the same way ext3 was implemented over ext2, because if I mount the HFS+ Journalled filesystem on a Linux system, Linux shows two hidden files that I can delete. If I do that, MacOS X just shows the filesystem as a non-journalled HFS+ filesystem and, with Disk Tool (or was it Disk Util, I can't remember the name of the thing) I can re-enable journalling and the files appear there again. This seems to be similar to ext3's .journal file. Hope this is informative, Rogério. -- Learn to quote e-mails decently at: http://pub.tsn.dk/how-to-quote.php http://learn.to/quote http://www.xs4all.nl/~sbpoley/toppost.htm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
