Isn't that more-or-less what I suggested? The biggest problem would be detecting what filesystem a given directory is on (noting that wine's "drives" are not even mounted partitions). Expert parsing of /etc/mtab would indicate it on Linux systems (and BSD?) but Solaris has a violently different mtab system. 2009/4/6 Remco <[email protected]>: > On Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 2:52 AM, Chris Robinson <[email protected]> wrote: > Another option is to actually implement the NTFS-specific features of > Windows, and call it NTFS. > This doesn't sound trivial, if it's possible at all ;)
