as WinNT and WinXP also uses. At the time of
writing there was still a
problem known as the SEH-Problem which prevents ReactOS from using
these drivers. But when the SEH-Problem is solved some time, ROS will
be able to load even native NTFS-drivers.
Not really true; we need to do lots of work still. It's on my plate, or
anyone else is welcome to it.
Q: Can I help programming installable file system
drivers?
A: Yes, there's lots of work to do around IFS-drivers. It's however
very hard to program. I like to say that programming dirvers is hard
but programming file system dirvers is the king's discipline. If you
are a real kernel hacker, come to our maling list and anounce
yourself.
I am also happy to point you in the right direction. There is much to
be done, as I said.
???
Just to be precise: what SEH problem are you referring to?
Borland or we have no SEH compliant compiler. I include that.
I don't think this is true any more; last I heard, there was an NTFS
implementation for Linux that could write. Regardless, the big problems
here will revolve around 100% bug-compatibility with the MS code.
Yes, it can write. But only on the same clusters. no reallocation is
possible nor deletion of files. Or using the MS-ifs through a wrapper.
