Hello,I recently spent some time experimenting with various Cc rewrites we have in our tree, and before that I extensively tested our fastfat driver in a real NT environment (MS Windows 2003).
The conclusion of the above work is that our fastfat driver either needs serious bugfixing, or a rewrite is needed. It corrupts directory tables in a real NT, leads to unusual behaviour of cc- rewrite branch, and may have side effects on arty's newcc.
Before this is done (bugfixing or rewriting, developing and testing against a Windows 2003 at least, not ReactOS), it's meaningless to continue any other work on Cc and related Mm parts.

Let's make a plan! I want a proper branch for the cc rewrites. I'd like to have a live branch, not this half branch, half patch form that cc_rewrite is in now. Perhaps this would be a good place for the working fastfat to be dropped when finished.
I have time and resources that I could put towards this goal. Let's get fastfat working on 2k3, then drop it into a new cc branch and get it working..
