Hi,

Can you please be careful next time with HTML email?  Many people on
this list use mailclients that do not support HTML email so many
people ignore your email because they can not read it.

Usually from a specification or some docs.

If you want to learn about filesystem development, read this book:

www.nobius.org/~dbg/practical-file-system-design.pdf

Besides that, it is best to study simple filesystems like FAT and
minixfs.  It is hard to understand NTFS and reiserfs if you don't know
the basics.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
