What I really want is a problem that will help me in building a good understanding of Linux kernel. How about looking at drivers/staging/*/TODO ? There's lots of things there that need cleanups and help.

I have decided on a simple layout for my filesystem where the first block will be the super block and will contain the version information etc. The second block will contain the list of inodes. Third block onwards will be data blocks. Each file can grow only up to a single block size. Thrid block will represent the first file, fourth block for the second file and so on. Directories will not be supported. Now I want to create a mkfs for my filesystem as mentioned above. But I am not able to find out how to do the mkfs for my filesystem such that the generic mkfs utility will understand my filesystem. What APIs should I be using ? Any help is appreciated.

Although I wrote just a bit more complex but it really is quite simple. If you want you can use this and I'll also like to contribute to it. https://github.com/pranjas/psfs.git Checkout psfs.h and psfs-format.c for complete details. Let me know if you need any help. Thank you. Yours seems a bit complex with support for extents etc. I am planning to start as simple as it could be. However, I believe your code will help me to find the right APIs I need. I will let you know once I publish my code. Your code should be very helpful to me. Thanks. Howdy Sankar, I found a simple mkfs's code.

Need a tutorial about `write a simple file system` in linux
Hi all, Is there a good tutorial about how to write a simple file system? I know FUSE is easier. But I want to write a real filesystem based on disk. Any simple code example is ok. -- Thanks, Madper Xie. ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
