[ros-dev] Idea for NTFS replacement

[Robert Köpferl]

I think there are already enough file systems around. And as one looks 
some of them provide also very advanced features. I have an eye on an 
JFS implementation for NT - it's just the usual that I dont find either 
time or a starting point.
The security in NT comes from the object manager and the processes' 
security tokens which are created by the security authority (which is 
replacible, see Novel). Thus any FS which allws additional meta info is 
suitable for us.
It's a bad idea to reinvent an own NTFS (and even name it so). Confusion 
would be great.
