Hi, I want to implement a file system and integrate with my system. Now first i have to implement the code for disk-formatting(like populating the super_block , root inode etc). I want to see the source code for the ext3 file system for this purpose. Please tell me which file in the kernel source contains the implementation.
I did the same thing few days back and asked the same question few days back :) It is very simple. All you need is to codify your structs. Then write a simple mkfs-yourfs.c which will fopen the given input file, write (by type casting to a char *) the struct pointer which contains your filesystem structure and then closes the file. It is as simple as that :) All the best. -- Sankar P http://psankar.blogspot.com
