| |
Folks, new versions of rename and FAT patches are out there. News in rename patch: * UMSDOS cleanup; now rename on UMSDOS should work correctly (yeah, right...). News in FAT patch: * same changes to UMSDOS as in the rename patch, but they are *NOT* enough to make it work with new msdosfs. It's still alpha and dangerous. You've been warned.
Patches are agains 2.2.5. Please, help with testing rename patch. Things to watch for: renaming files and directories on UMSDOS, creating of the first (OK, second, indeed) hardlink to files there. Otherwise it's the same as the previous version.
Status of rename patch: VFS part - final, modulo remaining special handling of NCPFS and NFS. Filesystems except aforementioned two and UMSDOS - final. Unless something bad will be found I'm going to submit it for 2.2.6. If UMSDOS fixes (in rename patch) will work OK they'll go there too. For 2.2.7+ - NFS stuff, NCPFS (Petr, maybe you'll submit your patch for testing now?) and new FAT + final UMSDOS cleanup (2.2.8+). Anyway, all interface changes are in the rename patch right now, so dealing with odd filesystems will not affect the rest.
Status of FAT patch - didn't change; still deep alpha.
