What exactly is involved in writing a new filesystem? See, i am
interested in writing a new fs that does on-the-fly data compresion.
HOw's that for a lofty goal?
Now if only i knew where to start.... Can anyone point me to any
docs or anything?? And how much disk space do i need to compile a new fs?
