A comment on Writing a file system from scratch in Rust.

Always fun to see this type of work. I notice the usage of OsString, and it made me wonder: does the way an OS encodes it’s strings potentially make this FS non-portable between OSes? If I want to mount a drive formatted with this FS, would the OsString be potentially non-portable?

There was a lot of discussion in the past around TFS https://github.com/redox-os/tfs, my understanding is that effort has kinda lost steam.

This is really cool, I wish someone would fund it.

That dead[1] project?

Actually everything around "Redox" looks like:
