Just thinking maybe can use FreeDOS to rescue NTFS, if too complex then drop it.


The read-only version of NTFSDOS is free, but the read-write version isn't :(

But the ntfs tools on ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/disk/ntfs.zip .Are they GPL?

Is FreeDOS ready for LFN? I mean LFN will affect the FAT table, is FreeDOS already spare enough 'space' for the extra space? And other disk maintenance program will not cause false alarm. (e.g. corrupted FAT table, misallocation of file)


LFNs affect (infect? ;-) only directories, not FATs.

But integrating LFN into kernel will lack flexibility...


No. We have FAT16 and FAT32 kernels, so we can have SFN and LFN kernels.

How about modify the kernel to provide API, and load LFN as a device driver? Then we can change the device driver without altering the kernel version by version.


It's the driver who provides the API. They're tied together. Integrating the driver simplifies it.
