That's a good thing to hear. I have uploaded my unreleased development tree to http://people.debian.org/~brinkmd/fatfs-0.2beyond.tar.gz Except for one dead-lock, it has support to extend and truncate files. The code to manipulate directories (add new entries, remove entries, etc) are missing. The dead lock is caused by some function being called once with the diretory which contains the affected node is locked and once without. We need to lock the directory, and in the first case we will dead-lock. I think some libdiskfs change was required, but my recollections are vague. I can let you know where you can get official standard documents describing fatfs (I have links), if you need that. I have also some older development trees if you want some history. Definitely go from 0.2beyond for read-write support, as the foundations are there (virtual inodes, file expansion/truncation). Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
