I'm pretty sure that first link that FreeDOS posted should explain it. |

Why would your xbox need a secure file system like NTFS? only things I have on mine are games saves and a CD or two. |

probably one thing about it that got butchered is:
FATX is basically a FAT derivative that dropped some legacy fields as well as redundant information that could lead to inconsistencies and thus creating possible security problems.
seems like it has security problems. |

Thats just half of it. It's a butchered DOS FAT file system. |

Yeah it's got some interesting stuff on FATX but not how to use it in your Linux kernel... >> |

Well... considering there's an Xbox Linux project, I though that'd be best to look at. I found two documents on it:
http://www.xbox-linux.org/docs/fatxfat.html
http://www.xbox-linux.org/docs/hackingfatx.html |

I've tried to use vfat and it wouldnt work. I've done all the research and the XBox file system IS called FATX. I just need to know how I can get FATX support into my Linux kernel. |

Yeah, Xbox uses a modified version of Windows NT 4... it's likely to be NTFS. |

...did you try to mount that partition as a vfat partition? Just wondering...
And I honestly thought X-box would use something related with NTFS.  |

FATX is the XBox file system. |

There is no FATX, you probably just mean FAT.
The default is to compile it in anyway. But look for "DOS FAT support" for having it enabled (this includes FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32). If you want Long File Name support on these, enable VFAT. |

The problem is that I cant find where the FATX file system is. I can see all the other ones like vfat, ext2, ext3, etc, but I cant find FATX. Is it in some obscure place or do I have to do something special to get it in there? |
For example, it keeps a backup copy of the master file table, without which all my files would be totally trashed right now.
