I have some questions before I begin: I also have some questions before you begin :-) They all follow from your last question. Do you really need FFS or will something simpler do the job? What functionality do you need to support? (Has anyone done this before?) My suspicion is that if all you need is a simple user-level file system, then you can find something already written that will do most or all of what you want -- unless you need something special. If you can't find anything, it's probably faster to write a simplistic file system on your own than to dis-tangle FFS from the rest of the kernel. -Dan
