The object manager which provides the whole namespace supports case sensitivity natively. It's an aspect of the corresponding driver. ext2)?Ĭase sensitivity is not a problem of the file system itself. How do you deal with case sensitivity (i.e. We are working on it but you are welcome to help. Since JFS is still a state-of-the-art file system with journalling, big file and partition sizes, ACLs and extended attributes and hard links, it would well suit ReactOS. Why not make JFS the standard file system in ReactOS?

The JFS sources (also for OS/2) are free to download. External media (compact flash, memory sticks, etc.) tend to be formatted FAT.

All software comes on CD or DVD media (ISO-9660 or UDFS), or possibly on floppies (FAT). Other file systems will be able to provide the advanced features of NTFS (journalling, ACLs, compression, hard links, etc.) if strict NTFS compatibility is not a requirement. NTFS is primarily a hard disk file system, so the only reason one would absolutely need it would be is if you wanted to access an NTFS-formatted physical partition on an installed hard disk when using ReactOS.

The ReactOS Project will eventually see NTFS support as a priority, but for now, there is no critical reason to have it. How critical is NTFS support for ReactOS to be successful? At the moment, there is no priority for NTFS, so active contribution in this area is still dormant. We are working together with them – or for now – just using their code. And there are still big areas of NTFS which are undocumented/unknown. These sources are useful, but as with all NTFS implementations (except the one from Microsoft), it lacks writing support. Why not utilize the Linux-NTFS project's sources? So there's still lots of work to do and so the only option is the FAT-IFS. For now, however, neither the Ext2/3-IFS nor our NTFS-IFS is ready to use for both read and write. Yes, it's up to you which file system you want to use. If you are a real kernel hacker, come to our mailing list and announce yourself.Ĭan we use Ext2/3 instead of poking around in NTFS?

It could be said that programming drivers is hard but programming file system drivers is the king's discipline. Yes, there's lots of work to do around IFS-drivers. We will utilize these drivers when they are good enough and ROS is able to use them.Ĭan I help with programming installable file system drivers? Ext2/3, is, of course, a topic for us, however, there are already projects whose goal is to implement Ext2/3 for NT. Why not implement Ext2/3 instead of focusing on NTFS?īecause NTFS is a major feature which must eventually be supported. The FAT-driver delivered with ReactOS supports VFAT (=long names on FAT).

It depends on how the file system driver decides to deal with it. ReactOS natively supports long and Unicode filenames. There's no need to implement another one.ĭoes ReactOS support VFAT and long names? ReactOS has had support for FAT32 for ages. Please wait patiently.Ĭan we implement the FreeDOS version of the FAT32 file system? Eventually, someone WILL finish writing a true NTFS driver for ReactOS, whether it's an adaptation of a Linux one (unlikely) or written from scratch using black-box hacking and available reference materials.

Someday, when ReactOS can handle it (kernel) you could use the NTFS driver from Windows®, but ReactOS will never recommend this for various legal reasons. Re: Will ReactOS be able to support BtrFS?.Re: NTFS-3G: Read-Write Open Source Linux NTFS FUSE Driver.Why ROS will not work on NTFS/ZFS/Reiser4/whatever right now.You can find exhaustive discussions in ReactOS Forum for further details.

It doesn't assure full compatibility with Windows® in unusual circumstances nor with future versions of Windows®.

For this reason, it is more difficult to create an implementation. The only implementation that is near-complete is NTFS-3g (FUSE), which is not kernel-level. Why isn't NTFS write support supported in ReactOS?

It did support Ext2 for a while, though that was removed to make room for another FS.But sometime in the future, ReactOS will be able to load even native NTFS-drivers.Īlso check out this FAQ on OSR Online FAQ Does ReactOS support Ext2/Ext3/NTFS? At the time of writing, ReactOS was still unable to load Microsoft® Windows® NT-native IFS-drivers. Therefore ReactOS will be able to load and use IFS-drivers. For that reason, it implements the Installable File System (IFS) interface. ReactOS uses file system drivers just as Microsoft® Windows® NT does.
