Why do you say full use of NTFS will not happen? I believe it should and needs to happen. Unless you find a way to hack ext2 so that it can store EAs, named data streams, and real NT security descriptors instead of the weak file mode bits. Oh, and make it journaling.
Simply put, ext2 does not satisfy the needs of an NT filesystem, so you can either overhaul it so that it does, or just work with the existing NTFS filesystem.

Using ntfs as anything other than just coping files to and from, will not happen! ReactOS can not use ntfs as an backbone file system. We are getting away with it just using vfat. So,,, all the wasted band width over ntfs!?
Why bother, make ext2 work, and that is what I'm doing atm, James _______________________________________________
