discuss: Thread: Proposal - How to write a Linux filesystem

Hello All,

    I'm about halfway through writing a simple filesystem
for Linux on 2.6.15 and I thought it may make an interesting
paper. Basically, it, like my code, would focus on the interaction
between the filesystem module and the VFS layer. I could provide
the source code and show how the filesystem is registered, mounted
and so on. Any opinions?

Best regards,

That would be very useful I think. Perhaps retain a copy in the 
kernelnewbies wiki as a ongoing draft and working prototype?

Glad you like the idea. Putting a copy on the kernelnewbies wiki
is a good idea. If I can get some time I'll see what I can do.
