Speaking of the LongFile Name patent and Journaling, there was if I recall, a Linux kernel hacker a while back that addressed both with an interesting patch. If I recall correctly, rather than storing a LFN and a SFN it would only store one or the other and then use the other record as some sort of a checksum on the file in question to achieve a similar effect as a journal record. Maybe its more analogous to UFS soft updates but I think you might get the idea. I'm not all that up on filesystem semantics but I think a bit of googling might turn up what I am talking about. -- Steven Edwards "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo _______________________________________________ Ros-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-dev
