I have tried the Paragon software on my Ubuntu box, and it does give full read+write access to Journaled HFS+ formatted drives. However I can currently only access it as root, and unmounting as non-root from the desktop can corrupt the entire HFS volume beyond repair. So I think it needs more work before it can be incorporated into a product like Squeezebox. Also the license is only for personal use. If Logitech wants to use it, I am sure they will have to pay $$$. Similar to Paragon's NTFS & HFS solutions for linux, Tuxera also have an NTFS, HFS and exFAT solution for linux. exFAT might be a good idea for Squeezeboxes in the future since it overcomes many of the limitations of FAT, is the default file system for newer high capacity SDXC cards, and is now natively available on newer Win and Mac systems. Of course they would have to pay $$$ for the Microsoft/Tuxera tax.
As my collection grows larger, I find myself increasingly worried about data corruption. I currently have my music mirrored on an HFS+ drive and an NTFS drive. I've been toying with using ZFS, and Btrfs but haven't yet worked out a solution that will be compatible across the Mac, Linux and Windows platforms that I use routinely. -- Nikhil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nikhil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=993 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77043 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
