side-effects of HFS_XFer and Executor 1.2 under NeXTSTEP 3.0
Dear Folks,
There is a possibility that when you run Executor or HFS_XFer under
NeXTSTEP 3.0 Gold (i.e. not PR1 or PR2) you lose NeXTSTEP's ability
to see Macintosh formatted disks. I am checking into this problem
now, but if you find that it happens to you, you can execute this
command as root to fix the problem:
iclone# mv /usr/filesystems/mac.fs.SAVE /usr/filesystems/mac.fs
If after quitting HFS_XFer, the disk isn't ejected, you'll also need
to use this command if you have an internal floppy:
iclone# disk -e /dev/rfd0b
or this command if you have a SCSI floppy (change the 1 to whatever
SCSI number NeXTSTEP assigns your SCSI drive):
iclone# disk -e /dev/rsd1h
Because we don't have a copy of NS3.0, it is hard for us to verify
that the problem exists. I don't think it occurred under NeXTSTEP
3.0 PR1 or NeXTSTEP 3.0 PR2. However, we'll get access to a NS3.0
system ASAP.
I talked with our printer and she expects us to have our manuals back
this coming Monday or Tuesday. I will make sure that Executor 1.2.1
plays nicely with NeXTSTEP 3.0 before we start shipping it. Most
likely we will have fixed the bug and be able to ship as soon as the
manuals are in.
I apologize for the obvious inconvenience that this creates.
Sincerely
Cliff
