Anybody, I am in the process of trying to modify the file system, but I cannot find out where the function tell_fs() is defined. It is invoked in the memory manager (line #5753 in ast's book, and other places as well). I imagine of course that this is simply an tell_fs() is simply an alias for send(), but I most probably am wrong. Not only have I searched in ast's book for the definition of tell_fs(), I used "grep tell_fs *.c *.h" in each of the 3 directories (kernel, mm, fs). The result was that I got more function invocations rather than the definition. Furthermore, I looked to see which procedures were available in the library /usr/lib/libc.a by "ar tv /usr/lib/libc.a | mined". Then using mined's search function, I attempted to find tell_fs. To no avail. Any help at all will be most welcome. Thank you.

I Last night I found it by accident in lib/syslib.c when I was trying to fix this file for minix 1.3 (the diff from posting 5 was damaged).
