[Ipodlinux-devel] HFS+ ipod

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

It seems the HFS+ based root filesystem is not as easy as it would seem.  The
problem is with the /dev filesystem, so a simple work-around is to use the
"devfs" filesystem.

To enable devfs in your kernel;

File Systems -> [*] /dev file system support
                [*]  Automatic mount at boot

Or by editing the .config

CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y
CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y

The rest of the root filesystem should work as-is and devfs should allow the
device files to work correctly.

If someone gives this a try I'd love to see a short HOWTO :)

Thanks to Daniel Hazelbaker for the devfs tip.

cheers,
bern.
