>The umsdos solution was generalized to a file system layer approach >which could accommodate a FreeBSD slice on any (not necessarily >MS-DOS) file system which supports 255 character filenames. This is a good point, which I forgot in my posting. While the OS/2 EA's have the advantage of utilising an existing standard, this approach would offer us the ability to transparently use any filesystem. Though the 255 character filename requirement should go. We can stick the long filenames in a seperate file or EA. --- Marius Bendiksen, IT-Trainee, ScanCall AS <marius@scancall.no> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
