Sinetek Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hm. For fun I am dorking with porting FreeBSD filesystems to XNU. While it's certainly not a walk in the park so far, it looks very doable. So if there is interest in the subject, I will update results of this R&D.. Quite tired now, laters all 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 You means FAT32? Funny. Then you can port KDE and create new unix-based system with XNU kernel looking as Windows XP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinetek Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 What FS do you want to port? I am thinking of Ext2 (and UFS is gone from XNU now too ) would be really useful for starters. Then who knows. I am thinking of proper, native filesystems here. The VFS layer is a bit weird as they removed access to the structures and everything is "opaque".
