Who Am I?

Author and maintainer of Linux cifs vfs (for accessing Samba, Windows and various SMB/CIFS based NAS appliances)

Member of the Samba team, coauthor of CIFS Technical Reference and former SNIA CIFS Working Group chair

Architect for Filesystems/NFS/Samba in IBM LTC

Note ...

Linux is constantly evolving, interfaces change (even those used by these small samples)!

–See Documentation directory of kernel (e.g. feature-removal-schedule.txt) or even better kernel source itself if unsure about call

–The kernel page of lwn.net is particularly useful: summarizing kernel API changes

–Examples were built and/or lightly tested on 2.6.16.11 and 2.6.18-rc1

A Linux kernel module used to access files and directories. A filesystem provides access to this data for applications and system programs through consistent, standard interfaces exported by the VFS, and enables access to data that may be stored persistently on local media or on remote network servers/devices, or even transient data (such as debug data or kernel status) stored temporarily in RAM or special devices.

–>16 special purpose local fs

–>12 (general) local filesystems (e.g. ext2/3, reiserfs, xfs, UDF, ...)

Lots of samples in kernel:

–Filesystems average under 30KLOC

–e.g. Ramfs is working 390 LOC example (simpler shmem/tmpfs) and stubs in fs/libfs.c make starting easy
