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,
