Hello Everybody,
I want to develop a new file system driver for 2.6 kernels. I want to find out about the necessary resources required for this purpose. I want the file system to be generic that can support standard unix file system features.
Also I want to make sure that the driver should be stable enough to run on any available 2.6 kernel series.
Your help is required.
Thanks,

wrapper file system
Basically I want to make a wrapper file system i.e. a file system wrapped on another file system. Our file system i.e. wrapper file system will be a dummy file system and will pass the requests to the underlying actual file system e.g. ext3. I want to develop a file system like nfs or smbfs. On the initial bases, I want to make the wrapper file system on the same PC on which the actual file system resides.
Thanks,

Stackable File System
Hello All,
How can I use the stackable file system in a distributed environment. Suppose I have a client and a server. The actual file system is working on the server storage e.g. let us say the ext3 is working on server side.
On the other hand, we have a client file system (a dummy file system) that does nothing but only gets the user read/write requests and passes it to server to do actual read/write on the server side. (a concept related to NFS and stackable file system).
How can I best use the stackable file system concept in this scenario.
Your comments and help are welcome.
