Btrfs is quite active as a project and limiting 1st stage to be able to handle only FAT is not OK from my PoV.

My personal opinion is that we should allow read for all supported FSs for reading files (in 1st stage setup) and _definately_ include all FSs that support writing and formatting (like btrfs and extX).

I understand the reasons for the change, I just don’t like the way it is handled.

Pierre is quite experience developer and I just wanted to ask if he thought of all implications of the change, nothing else.

We all sometimes make a change without looking at all angles.

Hope this doesn’t offend anyone.

BR,

Peter

That's exactly what this does: it disables them from the cd, but not from the final installation. The drivers are still included in reactos!

isn´t better just disable them instead of remove?

So in the future, when we DO want to support them in the setup program, we'll need to implement dismounting in those drivers, and then they can be added back to the cd.

We don’t have them at the moment, but we hope for the future. This will also limit formatting partitions. If you want to setup your hdd with several FSs (like you usually do on Linux for example) and then install on one of them, or want to read some files (drivers) from such supported FSs...

We can't boot from those FSs either way, since we don't have boot sectors for them. This only affects the ability for the setup program to access those partitions and format them.

Hi Pierre,

Isn’t this change going to remove ability to boot from those FSs?
