I had talked to scottl@ and if I remember correctly he had cc:ed rwadson@ about an initial diff I had created. This diff can be found at http://www.0xfce3.net/files/freebsd/01-msdosfs-darwin-merge-050604.diff (~ 240 KB). This diff is only a diff against HEADs msdosfs and the first release of apples msdosfs (-30). Maybe someone can take a look on what we can need from this patch. I had enough time to take what we may need and merge it for HEAD. Maybe some people can synchronize their work here... ;) best regards, Gordon
