Here's the question of the day for the BSD fs experts...
1. Where can I learn how modern BSD (like BSDI) fs systems are created?
I'd like to create a virtual fs
2. What I want to do is create a virtual file system that allows the following:
via a utility creatcom, create an enpoint to a peer to which to send data.
Create a fs entry that reprents this peer (/com/peername)
The other side will have this file "appear" as data is available with the
opposite peer as its name.
Example:
Given two machines on a TCP/IP net:
Machine-A Machine-B
creatcom Machine-B tcp 192.201.41.2.4121
ls /com
Machine-B
On Machine-B:
ls /com
Machine-A
As data appears, the size of the Machine-A file changes.
The actual reansport is handled via an external agent that pulls stuff
in and out of fs systems and transports it as necessary.
Any ideas?
