instead of starting a new project, why not answer a few questions:
what are all the key functions traversed when creating a new file?
new directory? new symlink?
conceptually it should involved functions that:
a. allocate a new inode.
b. allocate some blocks of space.
c. updating the blo

That's too trivial to do these days, it can be done in about 100 lines
of code, and really doesn't teach that much about how filesystems work.
Although it is a good place to start, look at the code for debugfs or
