Its worked from the command line for quite a while now, but its good to see that more people are testing Haiku now

ah ok.
it wasn't announced anywhere and i didn't wanted to scramble my bfs-partition; but i read axels svn-message about mounting support today so i thought i should test it now.

I think his note about "it's still not working" - was referring to the OpenTracker mount/unmount functionality in the right-click menu... which still doesn't work.

But yes - it has worked for a while as MYOB stated - I initially used this method to copy apps to my Haiku partition after booting Haiku, but found that any large copy processes eventually end in a bad way... it's easier to copy to the Haiku partition from BeOS before rebooting.

I'm encouraged by the number of people testing Haiku lately!

Update: It looks like axel was referring to issues mounting IMAGES - so, that's kinda neat :)
