Strange, I have 2.4.24 vanilla sources and its not there, maybe we will see it in 2.4.25. > > Heh, now I know for sure that you're a troll. My friend I am not a troll, but then what is your suggestion. NTFS came out nearly maybe >5(?) years ago, but we still have not had write support, so according to you to have reliable write support worth doing something like the way vfat has we have to wait another 10 years maybe? For the fanatics I am not advocating copying the code, no way as M$ would accuse us like SCO, but when you have the source you can figure out the API and then code for the API, if the people who are criticising my above comment have programmed a iota of code in their life they would understand what I am trying to say. Instead these fanatics would have us trying to guess how the api alloctes trees spending several more years guessing and debugging code, when if we have a look at the source all of the above will be clear. For gods sake, one you now the API (I wonder how many people who shoot there mouth off know what a API is), if you code for that from scratch can anyone accuse you of copying there code no way? RMS created the gnu tools, did AT&T accuse him of plagarising the code, no so what these people who say "dont look at the M$ code, it will damage linux" are just the kind of idiots who will be doing a lot of damage to linux in the long run by keeping us in the stone age. with linux having only 1% of the desktop market <http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html> and windows having >95% , we need some interoperability for the time being.
