Hi,
Now I know, how people handle their email, or for that matter, how they don't. So, I give it a second try. I've cleaned up the sources and put the file system on a web site, so hopefully this might work for all now. It's at:
http://www.netcologne.de/~nc-dietscol/virtfs.tar.gz
This time I try to be more precise: I'm interested in technical comments about the file system itself. So, if you know about linux file system internals, I'd appreciate your comments.
If there are ways, to do things better or cleaner, I'd like to know how and why.
For those, who haven't looked at it already: it's not a complete implementation. I've done devices, named pipes, directories and symlinks so far. Since I'm using it as a simple devfs, I have no need for supporting regular files by now.
I know about Richard Gooch's devfs already. My file system is not as full featured as his and will probably never be. I've just done it for fun and education and, of course, because this one is "invented here" :-)
Regards, Olaf.
