--- Comment #2 from KOLANICH kolan_n@mail.ru --- And, BTW, why are we using a text format for hives? I guess to allow easier editing and debugging... But why not to use the same format used on Windows (to get the compatibility to the software working with the files directly, and, maybe, better efficiency in reading/writing) and expose the human-friendly representation via a fuse fs?
