Re: [RFC][patch] filesystem: Vmufat filesystem, version 4

[Sam Ravnborg]

Hi Adrian.

I see that most of the point raised in last round has been addressed.
An incremental changelog would be nice during this RFC phase
so we know what has been changed from one version to the next.

Can we get all these numbers replaced by a set of descriptive constants?
You can then use the definition of the constants to more-or-less document
the on-disk format.

You have it in several places - the above is just one of them.

I did not look into the rest of the filesystem this time,
I may do so later.

Please ntoe that this part of the excercise is to make the filesystem
ready to be reviewed by someone who knows how to write a filesystem.
What I provide to you is only the janitorial level..
