PFS3 is soon to become free and opensource

[nicholas]

No

Here's an hypothetical question for you Piru.

If PFS was released under a BSD/MIT/APL like licence and assuming it's all written in C, what would be the odds that we'd see it in a future release of MorphOS?

I'd be 100% certain. I'd port it myself.

Phwoar, that's what I like to hear!

Here's hoping for one of those licences!

Why not use a well established filesystem that support extensions, and create extension to take care of amiga filesystem protection bits? There's already ext3 filesystem support in MorphOS, and ext3 supports arbitrary attributes. I can imagine XFS also does, and other filesystems as well.

I was having this very same conversation just yesterday with Karlos.

I suggested UFS2 due to it's BSD licence too, or even the very sexy OpenBFS from Haiku.
