Re: hfs cdrom broken in 2.4.13pre

One would hope so. All I remember about CDROMs is they use a different
blocksize which causes all sorts of funny side effects in generic code
that assumes the only sane blocksize is 512.
No. The point is that filesystems should not make assumptions about
hardware block size (except it being power of 2 I believe). If there
was code in block layer to provide broken FS's compatibility and that
code has been removed, then we must fix the FS. Who's HFS maintainer ?
Orphaned I think. But I agree it should be fixed. Using loopback on the
sly doesn't sound a lot cleaner than a reblocking hack in the HFS driver
:-)
