The QNXFS is not bug-free in 2.2.x . It is useable to share some files
between Linux and QNX, and when QNX is screwed up, this is really a good
help : things can be fixed under Linux a lot easier than with a QNX
rescue system.
I am a coder and maintainer of the QNX FS. The QSSL team gave me a
valid QNX license in order to do some work like that project. But what
they didn't tell me is that this license was limited and a few days
after the QNX FS was in the Kernel, it expired. I tried to got in touch
with QSSL without any success, maybe they don't want to help us in
working on their FS for Linux.
I will try to fix it for 2.3.x (in fact, I am waiting for the ReiserFS
port for that series because my system heavily depends on ReiserFS)
asap. Some features are still missing to fully support the FS (like the
extents list) . I'd be glad to implement them as soon as I will have a
copy of QNX to work with.
Scuba made a very good starting point for that FS implementation, but
I've not heard about him a lot of time ago. Still alive Scuba ?
