diskdev_cmds package

[jake1981 <oskari.rauta@…>]

Here's package diskdev_cmds which contains fsck for hfs and hfs+ volumes. I personally use a Mac, and I have a disk shared through my router (with netatalk and few other protocols) - although, whenever I want to put some large files to the disk, easiest way is to disconnect it from the router and connect it directly to USB port in my computer, this way transfer happens with highest available speed. OS X does support numerous filesystems, and with 3rd party drivers it supports even more- but I decided to stick with non-journaled hfs+ format, as openwrt/linux also supports it just fine with read/write capability (when I enabled journaling, I lacked writing capability). Also, hfs+ is a nice format.

Anyway, I live in a area where power outs are common, and when power gets back on- disk is in read only mode until fsck has been executed. It's just that openwrt does not have fsck.hfs - until now.

This is originally from opendarwin project, it was ported to linux by gentoo - and now I have ported it to openwrt. Originally this project also had mkfs.hfs but it didn't want to compile correctly and I became to think that fsck is a very good start, usually partitioning after all is done on a computer running bigger distribution than openwrt..

Here's a diff to packages..

This works good Oskari! For latest Backfire, you'll also need a file in /lib/functions/fsck/ called hfs.sh or something (chmod it 755) that contains something like this; otherwise you'll be unable to set enabled_fsck to 1 in /etc/config/fstab for hfsplus (or ancient hfs) filesystems. It's not in the diff, also not sure why this package is not in the Backfire packages repository.

For some reason - it ain't on trunk either. Been using this for years..

How do I use this patch? Where do I apply it?
