then you have been lucky. the kernel will NOT be aware of the changes to the filesystem that your making behind its back with hfsutils, since hfsutils manipulates the raw device (/dev/[sh]d?[0-9]*). modifying a read-write mounted filesystem with hfsutils is just asking for serious filesystem corruption and even possibly a kernel malfunction. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
