how about an implementation of plan9's kfs? it is fairly simple, with dentries similar to unix inodes, eg. typedef struct { char name[NAMELEN]; short uid; short gid; ushort mode; short wuid; Qid qid; long size; long dblock[NDBLOCK]; /* 6 */ long iblock; long diblock; long atime; long mtime; } Dentry; and perhaps would make a good educational implementation. sources for plan9's own is in plan9/sys/src/cmd/disk, if one needs to take a look. the document "the plan9 file server" by thompson gives some detail. oz --- ozan s. yigit staff engineer, sun microsystems/es http://www.cs.yorku.ca/~oz [EMAIL PROTECTED] || +1 [905] 415 2878 --- narrowness of imagination leads to narrowness of experience.
