Hi,
I think I've found the answer to my question already, but I wanted to be
100% sure.
Can I read Window Dynamic Disk volumes from within FreeBSD? More precisely
RAID-5 volume across multiple disks. I've googled and googled and I think
the answer is no. The linux-ntfs project has a tool that can display
information about the volume but the file system driver isn't fully
developed yet.
If there is no LDM support in FreeBSD, I think I'm going to port the
userland linux-ntfs ldminfo tool to FreeBSD, however I have a quick question
about GPL. If I port the code then obviously my version will have to be
under the GPL. I was wondering how this impacts the BSD licence? I presume
users of FreeBSD can happily use this tool, and hopefully one day it would
be allowed in ports. But say I extended this tool into a file system driver
(which I know is a big leap) would this code ever be considered for the
Kernel, or would I have to code from scratch to avoid the GPL restrictions?
Thanks in advance
Andrew Brampton
