Do I know a #FreeBSD developer here?

Jim ported your FAT filesystem driver to Haiku here https://review.haiku-os.org/c/haiku/+/7660 using a compatibility layer, to replace the previous driver we had inherited from BeOS sample code that was not working great.

I appreciate your input on how to handle this, maybe you're open to making/upstreaming some changes to the driver to make it easier to port? Maybe your driver is as bad as ours and you already plan to rewrite it? Anything else we should check?

@pulkomandy The #msdosfs (#FAT) driver seems to quite healthy, receiving regular changes bringing bug fixes, cleanups, and improvements. I've not heard of any plans to rewrite or remove it. It is a solid piece of software in #FreeBSD and it's going to be maintained for a looong time.

You could also send your questions to the #hackers mailing list:
