And I'm going to do AFFS part - I had to touch it anyway (it has a fairly nasty races in the metadata part: unlink in one directory may reshuffle the entries in another; find_entry() is not protected against that and there are further races). Wrt the data part AFFS can copy new FAT. Unfortunately that will not work for that OFS abortion. Quite probably OFS will become a roadkill. ObAFFS: do we really need to support links to directories? It breaks quite a chunk of VFS and I would like to know how often they are really used. I'll start sending the patches as soon as I'll port the stuff to .18-ac*. QNX should be trivial - it looks like a UNIX fs. Cheers, Al PS: net.resurrection after a month of net.death. Wading through 28Mb in the mailbox is fun...
