for preparing for filesystem ..visit site
http://nngfs.pbworks.com/NNGFS

i was at naive stage a few months ago ...
this was first step which gave a lot clarification

after you are done with that
then go for this
http://github.com/mkatiyar/testfs

you will love learning filesystem concepts from these sites....
it has become such an easy job for me after these links.:)


http://github.com/mkatiyar/testfs/blob/c9178ab14a5c2ced7353f5f3d81df7507db17859/inode.c
will solve your read_inode problem
