Hello everyone. As I've already told some of you, I'd like to work on HelenOS for my bachelor's thesis. The area I selected is the VFS subsystem. I'd like to improve/rethink the way HelenOS deals with filesystems based on some ideas I've been holding in my head for a while and also taking into consideration some other advanced operating systems.
I've put together the ideas I'm working with into a single document, so that everyone can review them and help me shape it in the best possible way. Right now, the first two pages summarize at high level the basic concepts that I intend my work to follow. After that, more details follow, though only very little information is present now (I intend to fully document the design of the whole thing as I work on it). https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eyGKosfkYHky3CHLM9O3UzI3CWoruls5IW3MddkQyF4/view Unless someone points out some massive problem with the way I'm heading, I shall research the current VFS in depth and then start either incrementally implement parts of my proposal or write a new VFS server from scratch, depending on which approach I find most suitable for what I have in mind. -- Jiří Zárevúcky _______________________________________________ HelenOS-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.modry.cz/cgi-bin/listinfo/helenos-devel
