No prob. I changed jfs to jbd at reading time ;) But I'm a bit confused about your statement using fuse. Well, I have to confess, that I don't really understand what fuse offers, but I suppose in userspace I can't read the superblock of other fs or call mapped kernelfunctions?!? Finally I found libfs - yeah! Good starting point. Thanks. My virtualbox is running again, so I can start with a new try. kind regards Santiago P.S. You don't need to send me your mails directly too. I think I will stay in this list for a while. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
