how about an implementation of plan9's kfs? it is fairly simple, with
dentries similar to unix inodes, eg.
typedef struct {
char name[NAMELEN];
short uid;
short gid;
ushort mode;
short wuid;
Qid qid;
long size;
long dblock[NDBLOCK]; /* 6 */
long iblock;
long diblock;
long atime;
long mtime;
} Dentry;
and perhaps would make a good educational implementation. sources for
plan9's own is in plan9/sys/src/cmd/disk, if one needs to take a look.
the document "the plan9 file server" by thompson gives some detail.
