Speaking of Rock Ridge. Are there any plans to support all of the Rock
Ridge extensions? Linux Rock Ridge doesn't support directories that
begin with '.' When you do an ls in a directory on a cd with a "dot"
directory you get the following error on the console:
Jun 6 23:28:38 olympus kernel: Unsupported NM flag settings (2)
And the directory doesn't show up in any listing and you can't access
it at all.
