I've just read the filesystems section of the

- A* Because NTFS is a major feature which must be supported at some
time. Ext2/3 is of course a topic for us, however there are already
projects whose goal it is to implement Ext2/3 for NT. We will utilize
these drivers when they are good enough.

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.
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.
