Readme ChangeLog

Short:        exfatfs - exFATFileSystem
Author:       Rupert Hausberger <natmeg(!)gmx.net>
Uploader      Rupert Hausberger <natmeg(!)gmx.net>
Type:         disk/misc
Version:      1.1
Architecture: ppc-morphos

Description
===========
  Port of exFAT file-system based on:
  - http://exfat.googlecode.com
  - AROS FAT FileSystem

Features
========
 - 64 bit (max. partition-/file-size = 128 PiB)
 - UTF support
 - Diskchange handler

Requirements
============
  - MorphOS 1.x

Installlation
=============
  Copy exFATFileSystem to L:

Usage (in mountlists)
=====================
  SectorSize = 512
  DosType    = 0x45584641 /* EXFA */

Limits
======
  - DirectSCSI only
  - No comment and owner at files. (not supported by exFAT)
  - Not all file-flags. (limited by exFAT)
  - No soft-/hard-links. (not supported by exFAT)
  - No Record-Locks. (not implemented)
  - No representation of access-times of files. (not supported by MorphOS)

Flaws
=====
  - Path-handling is currently done via strings. This is very slow,
	 because the (long) paths need to be allocated/released from
	 memory to not blow up the stack. Cluster-/file-pointers or at
	 least a path-hash should be used in the future.

Write-support
=============
  Due to license restrictions, the version with write-support
  is not included as a binary-file.

  For testing and private use, you may compile the version
  with write-support by removing __READ_ONLY__ in the makefile.
  See the source-code distribution of this release.

Format
======
  Format support is built-in. Use the format functions provided
  by the OS on a mounted volume. The clustersize is determined
  automaticaly according to the exFAT standard.
