Hoi Imre, > You did however make the very valid point that implementing a > compressed file system is not so easy as one might think. Luckily the task gets a lot easier if the filesystem will be readonly (tool to create it, driver to read it). And such a filesystem is still pretty useful :-).

You did however make the very valid point that implementing a compressed file system is not so easy as one might think. There is indeed a problem with random access in a stream. That is not very trivial to solve. But it shouldn't be overly difficult either. Imre >- Oorspronkelijk bericht

No what I mean with this is that if it is a linux driver it means that it is inherently linked to the internals of linux. I wouldn't think that this would be very easy to port to anything. At least not unless you would implement the entire virtual file system layer of linux first. What I did no

Hi Imre, > Does the fact that all this runs on linux slip your mind > (like in no way interesting for the stated purpose). Some of the filesystems claim to be implemented in only 4 kilobytes of code. Which is a lot smaller than the FAT engine in the FreeDOS kernel, for example. If you made a va

Does the fact that all this runs on linux slip your mind (like in no way interesting for the stated purpose). Seriously, how is any of that supposed to be running in DOS? It's mainly not even embedded (like a set of operating system services you can embed in a microcontroller application). Im
