Season's Greetings all!
Sorry to bother y'all, but does anyone know how to enable BeFS (BFS) in
Ubuntu?

A BeFS driver is part of the Linux kernel since 2.4 and 2.5, you only need
to mount the partition.
To mount it manually, using the builtin kernel driver (as in
XBOOT/fs/befs/befs.h version 0.9.3), assuming /dev/hda1 is your BeOS
partition (sudo fdisk -l to check) and /media/beos the folder when you want
it mounted and already created, type in a terminal:
# sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/beos -t befs -o iolocalset=utf8
Currently there is no write support.
If you want it mounted on boot-up, with the same arguments than above,
append the following line to the /etc/fstab file (for example, with gksudo
gedit /etc/fstab)
/dev/hda1 /media/beos befs iocharset=utf8
If you add other parse options, they will be warned, but anyway it will
mount the beos partition as read-only.
To check the information in syslog, you can try dmesg | tail or your
favorite way.
Marry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!
Best wishes!
