Wouldn't that mean that we would need to support the extended attributes
that Linux drivers support within ReactOS (like UNIX permissions, etc.)?

Hi,
The other day I had an idea. Because Linux has already many
file-systems, would it not be possible to simply make a generic FS
driver, that simply wraps around the Linux fs model?
I'm sure the linux and windows models are quite different when it
comes to their overall architecture.
The advantage of doing this would be that we'd have instant access to
well tested and maintained code.
This is essentially what Aleksey is doing with my FullFAT library,
albeit with a few small modifications.
Kind Regards
James

That's great! This gives me more motivation
to finish the fastfat
rewrite and test your branch with that driver.

I'm pleased to announce that I've been
able to boot reactos to the
shell from an ext2 partition. This is something we've wanted for a
long time and many of us have worked on. I've synced up arty-newcc
to the current state of my git repository. This work is
experimental, not quite complete, and has some important limitations:
- It probably won't currently work for a partition larger than 4gig
and might even fail for one larger than 2gig. This limitation is
lifted by other, unrelated code in my tree that I haven't merged yet.
- It probably has a lot more bugs left, especially in block
allocation for large files.
- Some parts of the new section implementation leak pages.
I was planning to, but haven't yet made the new and old cache and
cc and section implementations available side by side. The main
work of separating the new files involved in the section
implementation (now in ntoskrnl/mm/section/*) is done. This will be
necessary when I merge it into the main tree, at least for
regression testing.
Despite the branch being named for me, I invite anyone to work on,
modify, or bugfix arty-newcc. This advance has been a long time
coming, and I'd like to thank everyone for keeping the faith.
