>Do we -need- a complete rewrite? It looks like the current NetBSD version >is actually in pretty damn good shape. We obviously have very different opinions about what "damn good shape" means. While the NetBSD version on the whole has likely been better maintained and has fewer bugs, it also appears to lack some important fixes that we have in our version. In any case, the msdosfs code in both FreeBSD and NetBSD reminds me of a festering sore, and in my opinion, should be rewritten. It's going to take far more than just a few patches to make it 'better'. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
