I lent my 3.3 CDROMs to a friend who is a dedicated linux-head last night.
He was disappointed to find that FreeBSD doesn't support installing onto a
logical drive on an extended partition. In response, he offered to write
support for such for FreeBSD.
I'm willing to shepherd his work, collect reviews, commit when ready, and
such. Is this something we (collective "we", not royal "we") are interested
in?
In case you're wondering about Chris' ability to deliver, he used to work
on filesystem code at some large network server company in Utah, and is
pretty clueful. He's even willing to release the code under BSD license
terms, so we wouldn't have to worry about silly encumberances.
Yes? No? Maybe? If there is sufficient interest, I'll explain to him how
to CVSup and get him rolling on it ASAP. This would be nice to have for
4.0 release.
