Yes that has been my suggestion. In my mind most people wont upgrade from Windows to ReactOS as
they already have a Windows license so ReactOS like Linux wont have much need for NTFS. Right now
there is a ext2fsd that mostly works with ReactOS but currently it has some problems with ext3. I
am aware that you can do xattr support with ext2 and have suggested this to the ReactOS team.
Thanks
Steven

I think Robs point is the same as mine. Right now 99% of the world does not care about those
features where they do care about the other 50% of the features ReactOS does not currently
implement.
Thanks

Hi:
Remember the another filesystem driver could be installed in WinNT as part of the ReactOS setup in those dual boot scenarios. Maybe WinNT could boot from that X filesystem too. You won't be using an NTFS partition or creating it and you won't need to create a different driver for NT since ROS driver should run ok on NT.
Regards
Waldo

That seems to make perfect sense.
Why would anyone need/want to use NTFS if they don't need to access existing
NTFS drives?
If they do have existing NTFS drives, then as Jonathan says, they should
also have the driver from MS to access it.

Hi:
Well that's right until you try to access an encrypted file system.

Philip: Any filesystem is plenty insecure if you are accessing it via
a bootable CD-ROM or other such measures. Also, ext2 already has a
journal, it's called ext3.

Hello,
I am playing with DebugView from SysInternals and i noticed that ROS
KeBugChecks in NtOpenProccess (line 878):
if (ClientId->UniqueThread)
{
/* Get the Process */
if (ClientId->UniqueThread == (HANDLE)-1) KEBUGCHECK(0);
<===== HERE
DPRINT("Opening by Thread ID: %x\n", ClientId->UniqueThread);
Status = PsLookupProcessThreadByCid(ClientId,
&Process,
&Thread);
DPRINT("Found: %x\n", Process);
It looks like that UniqueThread holds value -1. I look in
NtCreateThread and it has CID handle creation implemented
(PsCreateCidHandle and friends ...)
I only get KeBugCheck with DebugView (another exes run properly). If
you force a false evaluation (for example: if
((ClientId->UniqueThread)&&(0))) NtOpenProcess does a LookUp by
proccess cid and DebugView run fine
Any idea?
It'd be interesting to see one develop a filesystem for ReactOS, but
AS a filesystem designed explicitly for the OS itself. It could be
called "ROSfs" or something similar.

Short term Samba and Samba-Tng are going to be ported to Mingw so they can run on Windows and
ReactOS. Long term there does need to be a intigration plan. I think we can wrap smbd in a dummy
Server service but I have not done much research on the intigration part yet. Right now I just
want to get the damn things built and sharing files. Samba is a lot more besides just the
filesharing module.....Its ms-rpc, network printer spooling, wins and network winlogin/Active
Directory, etc.....
Thanks

I think what Boaz was talking about here was is the fact that the Samba team
(tridge) are talking about porting Samba to the Windows environment for ROS.
My (limited) understanding of this is it would be a 'real' emulation of
cifs/netbt, not samba running in a unix environment via POSIX.
Speak to Steven Edwards or KJK for more info as they were talking to Tridge.
