File names
+==========
As in OS/2, filenames are case insensitive. However, shell thinks that names
are case sensitive, so for example when you create a file FOO, you can use
Extended attributes
+===================
On HPFS partitions, OS/2 can associate to each file a special information called
extended attributes. Extended attributes are pairs of (key,value) where key is
Symlinks
+========
You can do symlinks on HPFS partition, symlinks are achieved by setting extended
attribute named "SYMLINK" with symlink value. Like on ext2, you can chown and
Codepages
+=========
HPFS can contain several uppercasing tables for several codepages and each
file has a pointer to codepage its name is in. However OS/2 was created in
Known bugs
+==========
HPFS386 on OS/2 server is not supported. HPFS386 installed on normal OS/2 client
should work. If you have OS/2 server, use only read-only mode. I don't know how
to delete other files that are leaf (probability that the file is non-leaf is
about 1/50) or to truncate file first to make some space.
You encounter this problem only if you have many directories so that
-preallocated directory band is full i.e.
+preallocated directory band is full i.e.::
+
number_of_directories / size_of_filesystem_in_mb > 4.
You can't delete open directories.
What does "unbalanced tree" message mean?
+=========================================
Old versions of this driver created sometimes unbalanced dnode trees. OS/2
chkdsk doesn't scream if the tree is unbalanced (and sometimes creates

History
+=======
+
+====== =========================================================================
+0.90 First public release
+0.91 Fixed bug that caused shooting to memory when write_inode was called on
+ open inode (rarely happened)
+0.92 Fixed a little memory leak in freeing directory inodes
+0.93 Fixed bug that locked up the machine when there were too many filenames
+ with first 15 characters same
+ Fixed write_file to zero file when writing behind file end
+0.94 Fixed a little memory leak when trying to delete busy file or directory
+0.95 Fixed a bug that i_hpfs_parent_dir was not updated when moving files
+1.90 First version for 2.1.1xx kernels
+1.91 Fixed a bug that chk_sectors failed when sectors were at the end of disk
+ Fixed a race-condition when write_inode is called while deleting file
+ Fixed a bug that could possibly happen (with very low probability) when
+ using 0xff in filenames.
+
+ Rewritten locking to avoid race-conditions
+
+ Mount option 'eas' now works
+
+ Fsync no longer returns error
+
+ Files beginning with '.' are marked hidden
+
+ Remount support added
+
+ Alloc is not so slow when filesystem becomes full
+
+ Atimes are no more updated because it slows down operation
+
+ Code cleanup (removed all commented debug prints)
+1.92 Corrected a bug when sync was called just before closing file
+1.93 Modified, so that it works with kernels >= 2.1.131, I don't know if it
+ works with previous versions
+
+ Fixed a possible problem with disks > 64G (but I don't have one, so I can't
+ test it)
+
+ Fixed a file overflow at 2G
+
+ Added new option 'timeshift'
+
+ Changed behaviour on HPFS386: It is now possible to operate on HPFS386 in
+ read-only mode
+
+ Fixed a bug that slowed down alloc and prevented allocating 100% space
+ (this bug was not destructive)
+1.94 Added workaround for one bug in Linux
+
+ Fixed one buffer leak
+
+ Fixed some incompatibilities with large extended attributes (but it's still
+ not 100% ok, I have no info on it and OS/2 doesn't want to create them)
+
+ Rewritten allocation

Fixed a bug when chmoding or chowning root directory
-1.98 Fixed a deadlock when using old_readdir

-1.99 Corrected a possible problem when there's not enough space while deleting
- file
- Now it tries to truncate the file if there's not enough space when deleting
- Removed a lot of redundant code
-2.00 Fixed a bug in rename (it was there since 1.96)
- Better anti-fragmentation strategy
-2.01 Fixed problem with directory listing over NFS
- Directory lseek now checks for proper parameters
- Fixed race-condition in buffer code - it is in all filesystems in Linux;
- when reading device (cat /dev/hda) while creating files on it, files
- could be damaged
-2.02 Workaround for bug in breada in Linux. breada could cause accesses beyond
- end of partition
-2.03 Char, block devices and pipes are correctly created
- Fixed non-crashing race in unlink (Alexander Viro)
- Now it works with Japanese version of OS/2
-2.04 Fixed error when ftruncate used to extend file
-2.05 Fixed crash when got mount parameters without =
- Fixed crash when allocation of anode failed due to full disk
- Fixed some crashes when block io or inode allocation failed
-2.06 Fixed some crash on corrupted disk structures
- Better allocation strategy
- Reschedule points added so that it doesn't lock CPU long time
- It should work in read-only mode on Warp Server
-2.07 More fixes for Warp Server. Now it really works
-2.08 Creating new files is not so slow on large disks
