Hi, how far can we use it? It must be under Microsoft copyright. Moreover, it must be quite complete, so it would not be a rewrite, just an importation. P. Schweitzer

The WDK ships with a working windows 2003 fat driver... rewrite it based on that one.Best regards, Alex Ionescu

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.
WBR,

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..

Live branch needs constant merging. Have a look at amd64 bringup
branch: most of commits are merges. That mm.patch is an ugly way of
keeping the branch always uptodate...
Anyway, I have made some fixes to the branch, so if someone wants to
test, I would need to commit my changes.
As for the fastfat, I think the problems is in synchronization
somewhere, not in a pool corruption, passing invalid parameters,
misusing Cc API, or anything like that - I fixed that already.
Another idea was to take ext2fsd by Matt Wu, which is supposed to
work, and convert it to a fat32/16/12 driver.
