Hello! I spent the first week mostly setting up a development environment, creating a wiki page for the project, and exploring the nullfs/tarfs source code on FreeBSD. My initial idea was to build FreeBSD on my OSX but I ran into a problem with my clang linker (ld.lld) not having lcryptic linker library. After spending a lot of time on it to debug I decided to build on FreeBSD itself and stick with project goals. I began implementing the vfs_mount() hook and several necessary hooks/structures. In the initial phase of testing my mentor suggested me to compile squashfs disk file directly into the driver and test the initial metadata of the superblock etc.. by indexing in an array. I finished testing the superblock and root inode of fs and now will add mount(8) support for further testing/implementation of the driver.
