how about XTAF / FATX support ?

Hi,

I was thinking about (trying to) implementing FATX / XTAF
support in
FreeBSD.  FATX and XTAF are the two filesystems used on Xbox
360 hard
disks, FATX is also used on Xbox 1 hard disks.

The implementation would add 2 new mount commands and some
kernel
stuff (which can be based on /sys/fs/mdosfs).

Opinions?

Please cc me, I'm not (yet) subscribed to this list.

Regards,
Rene

Will it be BSD licensed, or a port from another licensed
open source fs?

The goal is to make it BSD-licensed.  I have some
documentation
available about the filesystems and an actual Xbox 360 hard
disk which
I can connect to a USB port using a 3rd party connector.

Rene

Sounds like a very good idea to me.
