I've recently started to look into Unix file system abstractions - the system V file system switch, the vnode that Sun has and the gnode that Ultrix uses. I am curious if other people out there are looking at constructing their own file system; what problem they are trying to solve. I've seen a couple articles from DEC about supporting MSDOS and VMS file systems under Ultrix with the GNODE switch .... We're hoping to build a user written filesystem to do storage management - move unreferenced data sets off of the file system onto tape, recalling those data sets when referenced by the filesystem. DF would, on such a filesystem, return some sysgen defined size of the file system partition... -- Steve Kneuper kneuper@emx.cc.utexas.edu - ARPAnet University of Texas System xxss521@utchpc - BITNET Center for High Performance Computing
