Hi
About EXT2/3 driver ReactOS have a ext2/3 driver imported from a 3 party project and it works to read partions but writing it contain some issue. I do not rember what.
About NTFS driver it is a port from linux, what I heard it can read NTFS partions more or less never try it my self
About CC branch it is a real mess and some with knowlges about CC should check it or delete it and start over you can not applay any patch or code from it to current trunks. for to much have been change and the CC branch does not working out of box. for some have mess that up.
I recomdate that current CC be delete and start over.

So... if you are going to use the code from one of the many projects for ext2/3 drivers around there "when they are good enough", why do the ROS source has a driver in /reactos/drivers/filesystems/ext2? Is it one of the popular IFS ext2/3 drivers that has, meanwhile, become "good enough"? Or is it a ReactOS internal subproject?
I think it is the ext2 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd but it is probably a really old version. It is rumored to work in our CC branch but not in trunk.
Ok... And what do you mean exactly by CC branch?
Don't forget I'm not a developer... :-) However, you don't have to explain what a "branch" is... I know it's a copy of something from the trunk that is put in /branches to allow a separate set of commits (and remains separated from the trunk until someone remerges it's changes)... But what's the CC branch?
And what about NTFS? Does the driver in /reactos/drivers/filesystems/ntfs do something? Does it read? Is it an internal project?
I haven't looked at it in a while but I think that it was just a stub driver that doesn't do anything.
This question was because the file structure doesn't look like a bunch of stub functions (which AFAIK normally just report something to a log system and return an error code)... Besides, even occupying much less space than the linux-ntfs directory (and I think that the sizes are comparable even with different APIs), it could have some functionality, although much less...
