I see: 2.2.0-WIP - More write support: Add inode writing and resident file overwrite. http://linux-ntfs.bkbits.net:8080/ntfs-2.5-devel/anno/fs/ntfs/ChangeLog@1.157?nav=index.html|src/|src/fs|src/fs/ntfs|hist/fs/ntfs/ChangeLog|diffs/fs/ntfs/ChangeLog@1.157 Were these done recently or BK has some datum bugs? It says these 2.2.0-WIP changes were done in 2002 :-o > Apart from that there isn't much of a plan, really, except the same > what I have always said about how I want to go about implementing > write support and I don't want to repeat myself now. No need to repeat yourself, it would be more than enough if you pointed out where you wrote about it once. Unfortunately I've never seen this written on this developer list in the last two years, also nothing such thing on the web site. Even google failed for me. Or is it the TODO part in the driver's ChangeLog? BK also says it's from 2002. Is that correct or a BK misfunction? But please don't feel pressured to answer, people just asking me too and I don't have the slightest clue about your plans, I can give just optimistic estimates how long a full or better partial NTFS write support can take if the project restarted the work on it. Your original sentences suggested for me that significant changes, new big features are coming soon what apparently I misunderstood. Cheers, Szaka |
