Because it is a "Swiss Army Knife" tool, to say "incomplete" is an oversimplification.
Wrong. The Web site CLEARLY states "It supports partition tables (FDISK, LVM), FAT, FAT32, HPFS, NTFS, and partly JFS, EXT2/3 or REISER filesystems." "Partly" means "incomplete."
I suggest that if you need to know precisely what particular support for particular type(s) is lacking, that you subscribe to the support mailing list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dfsee-support/ and ask, or ask the author directly using the instructions on the web site, and maybe recommend a support status table somewhere on the site.
I could care less what the product supports. I do not use it and have no intention of so doing. I am responding to your lame response to a previous poster, who clearly pointed out what the e-commerce site for the product claimed it could do. It is the software author's responsibility to ensure that the product description at the e-commerce site he/she uses is current. The author obviously doesn't do that, since the e-commerce description doesn't agree with the author's own Web site. Not very smart of the author. It is also the author's responsibility to ensure that his/her own Web site's description of the product is current. You imply that the software does more than the description says it does; if so, the author is again not very smart. You (apparently) like the product. Ducky for you. The original poster (wisely) did a little checking, and found that the product descriptions say that the software DOES NOT fully support some Linux partitions. It is the author's responsibility to rectify his/her mistakes in product marketing. Stop berating posters for discovering that the software author doesn't properly market the product. And yes, keeping product descriptions current is definitely a part of marketing.
