I have made a couple of posts to hackers, that probably should have gone here to fs. I and thinking about implementing a UDF filesystem. The plan I am considering, is to implement a "userfs" to allow me to do most of the work in a user process. I have been thinking about the userfs implementation. I will need some way for the user process to talk the backend of the userfs kernel code. The two ways I have thought of are I/O,, probably ioctl's or a new system call. I assume that it is possible, using a module to add an entry to the syscall table, but I lean more towards a new pseudo device to hang the ioctl's off of. I would be ineterested in any comments. I would also like to hear from anybody who has thought about a userfs implementation for FreeBSD.
