HFSPLUS does not take care of uid/gid options

[Carlos Perelló Marín]

I filed a bug upstream and also sent a patch to fix this problem.

Could we add it inside warty's kernel?

It's a trivial bug that let's us mount as a user the iPods with HFS+ filesystems.

I did the patch and I also tested it in my computer.

Proposal patch

[Carlos Perelló Marín (carlos)]

I'm working on a new patch, this one is not correct.

The new one will follow the Apple specification at:

Second try, this time following Apple specification

Here you have a proposal patch to fix it.

It does not have activated the dynamic owner change if you use uid=99 because I
don't know a way to invalidate the inode cache and thus, "ls" always shows the
uid of the files as the first user that accessed to it.

It looks like the patch has been forgotten upstream. You might want to contact
the maintainer for hfsplus and try to get it included. This probably should be
resolved as upstream.

No need to keep this bug open as it is collecting dust :)
