Hi,
I come from Linux kernel background so my perspective of
file-system implementation comes from the stack there.
Unlike Linux; where a lot of common code has been put under VFS and
all the lower filesystems implement either there own functionality or
fallback on a generic VFS functionality for a particular filesystem
operation; Haiku's filesystem stack looks a lot different.
Though there is VFS, but I really could not figure out how each
filesystem is using it or interacting with it .
I even find each file-system having its own Volume and Inode implementation.
What I really want to ask is that is there a generic
layer/functions(since VFS's interaction with filesystems I could not
track) that are common to all the filesystems.
Regards,
Saket SInha
