Implement a new filesystem for FreeNOS #63

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
When writing Ext2Create, I discovered that the Extended 2 FileSystem contains
some (unnecessary) complexities and legacies, for example:

* Using Ext2DirectoryEntry from disk is complicated to program correctly
* Various fields in the Ext2Inode and Ext2SuperBlock have been added and/or
modified since the first version of Extended 2, which we do not support
or Linux doesn't use anymore.

Therefore, I plan to write my own filesystem for FreeNOS. This has
the following advantages:

* We can keep the filesystem as simple as possible.
* We learn to (correctly) design a filesystem (which is fun!)

LinnCreate now works. It can generate a simple filesystem image as a regular 
user. With
the -d argument you can insert files into the image. Additionally, LinnDump can 
display
information of the generated image.
