GSoC project idea: HFS Plus journal
Hi, I see some of you are talking about GSoC participation. I'm also thinking of it. I have MacBookPro booting both MacOSX and Linux. Now Linux can write the filesystem safely only when HFS Plus journal is off. My life would be more better if Linux have complete HFS Plus filesystem read/write support. So I'm thinking of implementing HFS Plus Journal support on Linux. I've searched and found a technote about HFS Plus format describe its Journal [1]. How do you think about it? Regards, Naohiro [1] http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn/tn1150.html#Journal

Looks like a nice self-contained, project proposal, good luck! greg k-h

Thanks. I need someone to mentor me :) How can I find him/her? Maybe I should post developing mailing list. But I don't find HFS+ developing list :( Regards,

You need to propose projects for GSoC, the mentor matching comes afterward. Please go read the procedures for how the program works. best of luck, greg k-h

You can try linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org, That is where generic file system and vfs discussions take place. I assume all the major file system developers subscribe to that. Greg (not KH)

Hello, I wrote HFSPlus journaling proposal, could anyone take a look at on this and give me some advice? http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2011/naota/1
From proposal abstract:
This project aim to implement HFSPlus journal feature on Linux kernel. HFSPlus is a filesystem mostly on MacOS. Currently we have HFSPlus write access only if the journal feature is disabled. Every year, Apple deploy new notebook computers, which has larger power off risk than desktop ones, so it is not good to disable the feature. With journal supported, life with Linux on dual-booting Mac will be more easy and fun. Regards,
