This is going to be a continuing problem for non-Unix file systems like

Basically you can de-stroke a drive with what you let the OS/FS report.
Once this is done there is no way any FS can get to the stuff beyond what

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. First of all, having a flag

even if the license wasn't an issue. Things just don't work
