I have thought of a hack that would allow ext2 to store legacy 8.3 file
names. If a program requests a 8.3 file name we create it on the fly
from the real one. If the program changes the 8.3 file name, we create a
sim (or hard) link to the original with the new name. Although this may
need to be tweaked, you get the basic idea. ;)

Autoimatically defragment files on filesystems that require it.
Ext2 and Ext3 not the best idea most cases they defrag themself in
general operation most linux/unix/bsd filesystem do.
Ntfs and Fat require it.
--Option of background operation filesystem defrager for Ntfs, Fat and
any other supported filesystem that requires it a complete defrag of
drive only in use files not touch option.
--Processor and memory usage limiter on filesystem defrager in
background.
--Boot Defrag options provided by default no third party tool required
to do this.
--Filesystem Defrager must have continual operation without restarting
no matter what is written to disk its working on.
--Registry Hive defraging options for every boot or on X number of
reboots.
Filesystem--Security
--Documentation on what filesystem flags are required and how they
operate locations of sources good idea for developers from other
platforms.
--Universal posix/xattr/acl translator to and from Ms Windows
attributes and secuirty stored on harddrive.
The universal will open up options of porting alot more Linux/unix/bsd
filesystems.
--Support for full unicode filesystems. All applications in Reactos
should expect filenames to be unicode.<A audit some time>
Ext2/3 Filenames are unicode no codepage required.
--Ext2 filesystem driver must be updated to Ext3 support. Having to
redo journaling is a pain. The different between Ext2 and Ext3 is
journaling.
