This book is Volume 2 of the series, FYSOS: Operating System
Design, and will describe the process needed to connect a file
system to your kernel. It explains the steps to create a file
system independent link between a file system residing on the media
to your kernel code. Once you have done this, a simple call to
fopen("C: \filename.txt," OPEN) is all you need to open a file. It
then goes into detail, giving examples of what a file system should
be, how to create your own, and what to include in that file
system. It also explains the process of a simple journaling file
system. Part 2 of this book details four file systems, two commonly
used and well known, and two hobby file systems. The companion
CD-ROM contains source code to utilities to check your work,
display the contents of a file system, dump a file system, and
repair a file system. This book, and its continued series of books,
does not expect you to build the next great wonder of the computer
world. It simply will help you with your interest in controlling
the computer's hardware, from the point the BIOS releases execution
to your boot code to the point of a fully working Graphical User
Interface. It is not required that you know much about operating
system design to use this book and no specific hardware or software
is required.
