Some of them I personally maintain, like diskcopy and chkdsk. 

I would very much like to extend this maintenance into reactos. I actually would like to
volunteer for all these other tools coming from FreeDOS too.

But then we do talk about fully 32/64 bit binaries that are fully aware of reactos.

You could build thess from scratch for the reactos project, but I think it would be much
more productive to start from an already very stable code base. Instead of maybe again
spending 12 years of development.

Hi
I like see chkdsk and diskopy into reactos
but I do not like a hacked chkdsk.
to implement chkdsk we need fmifs be implement.
I do not how far it have come. or what need todo
same thing with format. we need fmifs.
fmifs  is layer betwin diffent filesystem and user mode u can say
u can format, chkdisk any filesystem if u using fmifs in windows
same way will reactos go. Are u willing helping us improve it ?
And fix so fmifs working for format, defrag, diskcopy, chckdsk
?

We are really in demand of a working check-disk utility, so I gladly  
accept any correctly working version compatible with Windows (as in:  
not depending on specific ReactOS's features).
It doesn't stop us from implementing fmifs.dll, uFILESYSTEM.dll's,  
etc too. Even helps, I would say.

Thats why I started porting the dosfsck a while back. Some of the
lower level dlls for filesystem checking are highly obfuscated. It
would be better to have a working tool now rather than never.
