Currently the driver does not implement defragging support.This can prevent legacy DOS applications, executed by the NTVDM of Windows, from accessing some files or directories. Alternate 8.3-DOS names are not supported (just because there is no place to store them in an Ext2 file system).
(Special files are sockets, soft links, block devices, character devices and pipes.)
