Todo - wish list

Amiga DOS packets vs the AROS DOS interface

• we have our own unique DOS insterface with the file system handlers
• we have a compatibility layer for regular DOS packets atop of that
• SFS handler can handle regular DOS packets, but has a compatibility layer to receive data from our interface, so if an application is sending a regular DOS packet to the SFS handler, the packet has to traverse two compatibility layers !

• avoid too many context switchs
• ability to abort a current operation with the handler

• a filesystem interface for I/O, cache and storage (and network maybe)
• defined in C++ to enforce design rules
• write a Fuse wrapper for this new interface

File systems related stuff

• unify all the current file systems code in AROS (if the above points are solved, this will be likely the case), because cut & pasted code is bad

AROS DOS library

• introduce the transaction concept (for rename + overwrite, ...)
• add functions like DeleteFromFH, RenameFromFH
