Developing a new file system

[Keith Loepere]

I heard a rumor that there is a file system development kit (akin to the device driver development kit) for developing new (kernel) file systems. What would be the necessary pieces to develop a new file system?

hi

to create new file system

#lvcreate -L size(in MB) -n name_of_fs /dev/vgxx/lvolxx
#newfs -F hfs/vxfs /dev/lvolxx/rname_of_fs
#mount /dev/lvolxx/name_of_fs /mount_pt

Ravi is right,insert new mount /etc/fstab for automatic mount after reboot.

Keith,

interesting idea, what do you want to develop ?
I think JFS is quite powerfull,
which features do you like to add to it ?

Just curious
