Right, although I am not sure what you mean with the first part: I 
meant B_STAT_UPDATE as an event for the intermediate update, 
B_STAT_CHANGED as what it does under BeOS. The dos file system will 
have to be ported for Haiku anyway :-)
But that reminds me that we should use a better name than 
B_STAT_UPDATE... maybe B_INTERMEDIATE_STAT_CHANGED, or 
B_INTERIM_STAT_CHANGED, or B_INTERMEDIATE_STAT_UPDATE, or whatever.

Bye,
