Regular report of status progress fs checking

[petr-akhlamov]

Your file system checker for FAT32 is used by ReactOS. And in it missing component for reporting of current status of checking. When system is installed or updated, running disk checking, but due missing this component, users can't understand when it will end. Can you implement it, please.

I have a similar feature request already, but I'm curious how ReactOS uses dosfstools since it is not ported to the Win32 API. Is it in some Linux based installer or is there some other port out there?

[petr-akhlamov]

It's his own win32-port.

Something like status progress (in %) would be really useful. Specially when running on large disks.

@petr-akhlamov: your link gives me 404. Anyway, are ReactOS developers interested for upstreaming some of patches?

Yes, ReactOS developers interested for upstreaming some of patches since your utility is used as base for CHKDSK.
