Assignment can be discussed. I've already done a part of BFS (using "practical file system design" book as a reference) and since AFS is similar it can use same file with some defines. So it should Actually if you want to help what I need the most is the way of mkfs and write to AFS (or as a variant something which already generates AFS with files on it like xorriso can do for iso9660) for automated testing purposes.
