yes i want to be able to configure my cmd.exe to access my xfs or ext3 volumes on reactos without rebooting... This would be accomplished through... Maybe a XEN service that creates a virtual drive that can be mounted and unmounted on the fly, and can be modified with explorer or cmd itself. There also needs to be a configuration utility that allows the user to pick and choose with partitions, or devices that will or won't be mounted. as far as running commands, it would be unsafe for a user to mount a startup volume (Linux) with several servers or services running because of unclean mounts and data corruption. So a tray icon, or a controller app can kill the XENed hardware cleanly.
Mac OS X does this rather well with its Classic Interfacing... That is what I currently am using to do most of my programming anyway. That is where I got the idea for the tray icon. On Nov 29, 2005, at 2:05 PM, TwoTailedFox wrote:
Rick is referring to passing through mounted volumes, in other formats, to a DOS Subsystem, I believe.

GvG is working to make ReactOS work with Xen already.

I have recently been reviewing the DosEmu thread on the list. Here is my concern, why not try doing something like XEN for reactos. CMD.exe could interact with all of the XENed hardware and software. One major feature this would be great for is if someone needed to utilize a EXT3 disk image or hard drive from ReactOS in the future all they would have to do is pop open the cmd prompt and cd to a virtual hard drisk something like C:\Volumes\HDA1\ would be equal to / on the linux volume. A system service would also need to be implemented for starting the other os on command, but that is only a suggestion...

I don't think that is what Rick was referring to.
