Linux fs api, and use in our prog (30 mins) First of all, we dont need to split points 3 & 4. I can take up the filesystem/API/Harddisk-OS interaction/Harddisk working - in terms of the HDD controller and stuff. Somebody needs to read up of VFS. I feel it is necessary. So, simply listing down topics, : 1. Filesystem basics 2. C API ( std lib + system calls ) 3. Harddisk - OS interaction ( device drivers ) 4. Harddisk basics - controllers/hardware 5. Virtual file system. ( Example SUN VFS ) 6. Application design/implementation - explaination As of now, i can handle any of the topics except 5. But can read up on that. If nobody else is willing, we'll have to split it up b/w peeyush and myself. Pep, decide which ones you want to take up. I'll take the rest.=20 We need to start on the app. I feel we need to split it up into 2 talks, at least, if we have to do any justice to the content. We decide by today evening on topics abd start preparing. RFC TC
