Hi! I'm currently running a dual boot with Linux and Win2k, and since I've finally got a broadband connection at home I decided to set up a FreeNet node in order to contribute to the project. I happily set up my node under both Linux and Win2k, working to the same shared data store, and they both work fine. However, when I looked in the e-mail archives to see if there was any issues regarding this, I gathered that there would be problems with this kind of setup. The problems would be that there are different paths used to the files in the data store and the filename conventions are different. Which leads me on to my question: Why, oh why, are there absolute path names stored in the data store? This seems, to my unenlightened mind, to be a very silly design. Typically, it prevents any form of relocating of the data store directories, and also prevents things like running a common datastore on a dual boot. The absolute base path to the data store is already configured in the freenet.ini file, why do you duplicate this information elsewhere? If there's a good reason for this, please enlighten me. :) Cheers!
