It seems that Scott Long, original author and maintainer, has moved on to other more important (and, perhaps, interesting) things. ("perhaps" - because RE does not seem to be too exciting on the first glance) Meanwhile, there are several bugs still opened for UDF. Some of them are pretty obvious, some with good patches, some not so trivial, some unhelpful and some are mine :-) I think the following PRs are good candidates for review and possible inclusion into source: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/77234 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/78987 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/92040 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/84983 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/90521 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/97786 Also, from our private conversations I know that Bruce Evans has even more fixes for more problems and better fixes for some bugs described in the above PRs. Those patches that I personally submitted do WorkForMe (TM), but I think that Bruce has much better understanding of VFS stuff and done much better job. Would some committer be so kind to adopt UDF, review the PRs and fix at least the most obvious bugs before 6.2 ? I personally promise to help with testing and discussing things. -- Andriy Gapon
