Hmm, I don't think there any such examples.. or such a howto.. :( but you can have a look at the source code for nullFS which is useful if you are interested. It has very clean commented code, which is also very easily understandable. You should also have a look at information VFS, which is the filesystem interface provided by FreeBSD, for exporting filesystem services, and what not. :) Just type "VFS" on google without the quotes, and you should be able to find a paper or couple of papers by Marshal Kirk McKusick. :) You can also have a look at other 4.4BSD Docs at: http://docs.FreeBSD.org/doc Hope this helps.. :) -- Hiten Pandya -- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
