Autoimatically defragment files on filesystems that require it.
Ext2 and Ext3 not the best idea most cases they defrag themself in 
general operation most linux/unix/bsd filesystem do.
Ntfs and Fat require it.

--Option of background operation filesystem defrager for Ntfs, Fat and 
any other supported filesystem that requires it a complete defrag of 
drive only  in use files not touch option.
--Processor and memory usage limiter on filesystem defrager in background.
--Boot Defrag options provided by default no third party tool required 
to do this.
--Filesystem Defrager must have continual operation without restarting 
no matter what is written to disk its working on.
--Registry Hive defraging options for every boot or on X number of reboots.

Filesystem--Security
--Documentation on what filesystem flags are required and how they 
operate locations of sources good idea for developers from other platforms.
--Universal posix/xattr/acl translator to and from Ms Windows attributes 
and secuirty stored on harddrive.
The universal will open up options of porting alot more Linux/unix/bsd 
filesystems.
--Support for full unicode filesystems.  All applications in Reactos 
should expect filenames to be unicode.<A audit some time>
 Ext2/3 Filenames are unicode no codepage required.
--Ext2 filesystem driver must be updated to Ext3 support.  Having to 
redo journaling is a pain. The different between Ext2 and Ext3 is 
journaling.
