Re: [ros-general] Microsoft wants royalties for use of FAT

Agreed; the security model is one issue.  For an NT clone, you really
need a filesystem capable of supporting ACLs, among other things.  Does
ext3 support extended attributes?  If so, then this could be
implemented over top of that; as it could be over BFS (the BeOS file
system, which is EXTREMELY fast due to its indexing of these
attributes, etc.), or over XFS (SGI's filesystem for IRIX); either of
these filesystems is industrial-strength, 64-bit, journaling, and worth
considering.  

SGI has released XFS source code as pseudo-open-source for use in
Linux, and I think they allow use in other open-source systems, as well
(not completely sure of the license any more).  BFS is being rewritten
by the OpenBeOS project (www.openbeos.org).

Something new and unique is also possible, of course.

Modify the equilibrium of the vertically-oriented particle decelerator to result in the
reestablishment of its resistance to counterproductive atmospheric penetration.
