Hello Guys,


I am looking to extend/create a file system that span networks/device of any
kind, shape and manner :) Check out http://www.insync.za.net/openufs/ (also
on http://openufs.sourceforge.net - but Iam not here to adv. the site !)


I would like to know, where can I find what EXT3 will write to the disk, how
it works etc.


Surely EXT3 will write something like this :


Block 0 - (1024 bytes) {DATA}
Block 1 - (1024 bytes) {FAT type block}


Hope this makes sense.....


Cheers,


Pieter De Wit


You can find the ext2 format detailed on
http://www.freesoftware.fsf.org/ext2-doc/


The current ext3 code, the one included in the 2.5.x kernels, is
basically ext2 + journaling, so the format on disk is pretty much
similar.


I had a peek in Mr. Tytso's ext3 notes and there was something about an
"inode V2" format, but other than that, I haven't seen any trace that
things would be done differently than in Ext2.


Hope this helps,
EKS - Dave Poirier
