this looks like a great way of screwing up your hfs+ partition to me :=P mount it r/w in linux, and then use it in MOL in r/w mode aswell. no complaint about possible data corruption from either MOL nor the mount command. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mount -t hfsplus /dev/hdaX /mnt/tst 2. startmol -X 3. ...do some work in both linux and MOL and wait for *BOOM* :) Expected Results: emit a warning and NOT start using the already mounted partition. atleast not use it in r/w mode
Usualy MOL should break starting with a strange error-message. I tested that a while ago. It recognizes that the partition is mounted, but the error-message isn't so verbose that the user can track it down to the mounted partition. The MOL-developers already know that problem. Hopefully there will be a better check from MOL soon.
