I've search around the ReactOS site, the mailing lists, and the Wiki, and haven't seen this subject out there much. We have an older application that runs on Windows over a network connection. The software must be run over the network and must have a mapped network drive to function correctly. I know that Samba-TNG is available for ReactOS, but this seems to only smbclient and no way to mount or map a network share. Are there any plans or current efforts to support mapped network drive functionality?
Thanks - Nick
File system improvements of any type are currently blocked by the cache manager, and will be helped signficantly by Pierre Schweitzer's work on fsrtl. I've been working on getting a rewritten cache manager into reactos cleanly for a few months, but it hasn't really followed a predictable path of progress.
So the short answer is, it's planned, but depends on some kernel issues being sorted out first.
