[ros-dev] FullFAT replacement for Fastfat.sys

[Ged]

'already written' is the key here. There was no mention of that in the
original email.

 

Also, it's still not as easy a task as reworking the MS code, which is
effectively what was suggested.

It's going to require a good knowledge of NT FSD's to get everything
functioning correctly.

Well Aleksey is the one who seems to think that it won't take too long to
plug the library into the code he's already written.

I think you misunderestimate how much work is required to write a kernel
mode wrapper around this lib.

It would be much much quicker to use the MS sample code.

 

I do however prefer to go down the fullfat path than use MS code. I feel
uneasy about the legality of using MS code, even if it is supposedly
allowed.

Importing FullFat (even if it requires changes, like converting to kmode) is
still WAY faster than developing a new one, based on MS sample code.
