Zero.
for a simple reason: there is no functionality ('API') like
Get/SetExtendedAttributes in DOS; therefore DOS programs can't support
this

Does the TestDisk solution that you mentioned give full access (i.e.
both read and write) t

I'm pretty sure this is the Paragon driver and not s
Ext2 is forward compatible with ext3. There's simple migration tools
builtin to mkfs.ext3 on Linux, iirc. Then ext3 is forward compatible with
ext4 with similar tools. So it's kind of a Canadian cross situation but
you could you'll always be able to get access to an ext2 partition from
Linux.

I probably found what I was looking for: the COMBOOTF.IMA file from

This would be a good solution. Only, in order to be useful such a driver

hello all. longtime reader, first time poster
this is something I have been thinking about for a long time.
I think it needs to be a part of long file name support, which
seems to be pretty messy for compatability (multiple directory
entries to carry extra characters in the name).

Just make kernel use /ea_attrib.dat with file name and a bit wise word for

The kernel itself only directly supports FAT. Anything else (AFAIK,
and I'm no expert) has to come from a loadable driver using the

I do not think so, maybe the devs can implement ea_attrib file support

Well, in a way what I was asking about is similar to the comments, with

Hello
Does FreeDOS support any file system that has customizable metadata
(also known as extended attributes)? All modern file systems do. The
only feature that I need is extended attributes, so I don't care about
journaling or other features.
