[ros-dev] [GSOC] NTFS driver improvements
Hello all, I am Pratik Singhal, a 3rd year undergraduate student studying Computer Science studying in BITS-Pilani, Goa Campus, India. I want to pursue the project NTFS Driver Improvement project as a part of Google summer of code 2016. I have previously participated in Google summer of Code 2015 for FreeBSD operating system and have done some kernel hacking before.( https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2015/CubieBoardSupport) I have also made a mini operating system of my own. I am sure, that the experience I gained while previously for FreeBSD will certainly help me in understanding the ReactOS code base quickly which will be useful for the project. I don't have any significant experience on working with file systems before, but I am confident that with some guidance from fellow developers I will be able to learn new things which will help in completion of the project. Also, I haven't had any access to Windows source code , so that shouldn't be a problem. We will have to figure out concrete goals of the project, full term and mid term deliverable and a plan for completion of project, if it is to be selected for Google summer of Code. It'll be great if somebody, could mentor me for this project. Thanks, Pratik Singhal ___ Ros-dev mailing list Ros-dev@reactos.org http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-dev

Hi Pratik, I am Pratik Singhal, a 3rd year undergraduate student studying Computer Science studying in BITS-Pilani, Goa Campus, India. I want to pursue the project NTFS Driver Improvement project as a part of Google summer of code 2016. Nice to meet you, and welcome to ReactOS! We will have to figure out concrete goals of the project, full term and mid term deliverable and a plan for completion of project, if it is to be selected for Google summer of Code. As per https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/6324900541235200/ this is a recommended part of student proposals as it contributes to their quality and allows us to assess and evaluate better. Please consider figuring out this part. The 'References' section of this GSoC idea (https://www.reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2016_Ideas#NTFS_driver_improvements) should give you pointers and help you learn and prepare for your proposal. Good luck! Cheers, Amine. ___ Ros-dev mailing list Ros-dev@reactos.org http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-dev

Hi Patrik, Regarding NTFS, I'll sum up its current state in trunk, so that, it'll give you some view on what's left to do. It's purely RO only driver so far. It can read well all versions of NTFS (mainly tested with v3.1, v1.2). However, many key NTFS features are missing even for RO: journaling (we totally ignore it so far), compression, encryption, hardlinks (more or less around though). What's already implemented: alternate data streams, reparse points, and I may forgot others. With all these points, you can already think to things to work on (obviously, implementing all this is way beyond GSoC project scope). But, in case this doesn't fit your expectations, just improving current driver is a project in itself. It's slow, it doesn't use caching, it's not thread-safe, many algorithms would benefit from reimplementation. And finally, if you're... Brave, there's room for implementing RW support :-). I'd obviously be your mentor, as main ReactOS filesystems developer, and as the guy who implemented most of the current NTFS driver. I can show you the path in its obscure code!

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [hbelusca] 70857: [USETUP]: In case chkdsk detects some disk errors, just display a warning message but allow the user to continue the installation.
No?!
This is totally broken and is to be reverted.
If you detect errors, there are only 3 issues:
- Offer the user to attempt to repair errors
- Offer the user to format
- Exit (as it was done previously)
(If repairing fails, you fall into the two next cases).
You cannot ignore errors and let the use write on a borked file system.
