This isn't *directly* related to mol, but i find it enhances my mol
experience :>
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx
I tell mol about my linux disk partition, and then i have access to my
files inside my mol session.
couple of caveats:
. the os x driver *does* support write now, but i give mol read-only
access to my linux partition.
. when a new file is created under linux, there's no good way to tell
the os x driver that *something else* has modivied the device.
(ext2 is *not* a shared fs like GFS). So you have to unmount and
remount the ext2 volume to make os x aware of any new files you
created on the linux side.
read-only access works for me. i'm not brave enough to try writing
data :> (nor would it be a good ide for my setup).
