New filesystem and VFS info

New filesystem and VFS info

[Natasha Portillo]

Hi!

I'm making a new filesystem (http://efat.sourceforge.net -> despite the
name it has nothing to do with Microsoft FAT variants) and I want to
know where can I find info about what is supposed to have in a Linux
Filesystem Driver... (what entry points, what must they do, what kernel
I/O facilities are available, these info that comes about OS/2 in the
IFS document and about WinNT in the Microsoft IFSKit)

Then why call it that?

If that's what you need your best bet is to write it for 2.2 and get a copy 
of 'Understanding the Linux Kernel'.  Otherwise, wait for the 2.4 edition of 
UTLK, otherwise - get ready to do some digging.
