Still, a lot of people use other filesystems for AmigaOS but there are no Linux drivers for these. So the best way to transfer files between the Amiga side and Linux is still the buggy Linux affs driver :-) Regards Nicholai Benalal - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
