What is this Driver?
|
||||
====================
|
||||
This module implements the native filesystem of BeOS http://www.beincorporated.com/
|
||||
for the linux 2.4.1 and later kernels. Currently it is a read-only
|
||||
implementation.

Which is it, BFS or BEFS?

||||
================
|

Be, Inc said, "BeOS Filesystem is officially called BFS, not BeFS".

=========================
|
||||
Be, Inc said, "BeOS Filesystem is officially called BFS, not BeFS".
|
||||
But Unixware Boot Filesystem is called bfs, too. And they are already in
|
||||
the kernel. Because of this naming conflict, on Linux the BeOS
|
||||
filesystem is called befs.
