Hi:
It is true that a filesystem that has a usermode
component
can not be used as a boot driver
I beleive this is not true. There are operating systems (at least I could name one) with
all the drivers running in user mode leaving only a minimal kernel. Is sort of a
client-server model, and yes with protection for file/folders. Now the ROS boot loader
first loads kernel-hal-fat driver-... It has to, otherwise how would you load the
filesystem driver? Now switching ring 0 <-> ring 3 with that in RAM... If you also
load ntdll that way. Hmmm Why not? I beleive that is enought to read/write something to
disk.
