i was wondering if these will be of interest. in the past month i've been working on writing a silly file-system, and found that there is no good document (or book?) explaining the gory details (or does 'understanding the linux kernel' cover this _properly_?), so i that giving a proper intro would be interesting.
i can see these topics: 1. the linux VFS - how it works, how it interacts with file-systems, etc. this can be covered in a single lecture, beause it's a bit superficial. 2. writing a linux file-system - with my silly STAMFS example (hopefully it will be working _properly_ by the time i have to write the slides). this might require two lectures if we want to cover the details - unless i make it more superficial, and people read some source-code to get the gory details, sohuld they be interested? i don't see how 2 can be given without 1. then again, perhaps 1 can't be given without talking about the file system related system calls (unless i assume everyone's familiar with those). anyone has an opinion? -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
