no it doesn't. linux filesystem support is totally irrelevant to mol. > subsequently mount a local HFS+ partition read/write, for access though > MOL? yup, the MacOS in mol can read HFS+ just as it always could. as far as macos cares all your partitions are giant floppy disks. all teh linux kernel needs to do is provide /dev/hda* access which it does regardless of whether you have ext2, xfs, reiser, hfs, hfs+, msdos, or the contents of /dev/urandom on the partition. back when i used mol i simply had a 500MB file sitting in /local/mol/macos.im, it had a mac partition table and a HFS+ partition in it. macos was none the wiser. (that file didn't even have to have a partition table or driver cruft, i had just gotten that impression from some obsolete documentation). > Also, I don't suppose there is any way to make an NFS share available > to the MOL session? only by exporting the nfs share via afp. MacOS can't read NFS (without rare expensive perhaps abandoned proprietary software). -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
