Past posts on file systems.

Post by anti149 »

I still can understand any of this file system stuff my OS is finish but it is LIVE :cry: so I was wondering if you knew of any pasts posts that went in depth about file systems?

I have the funny feeling that once you've narrowed down your criteria to what you actually want to know about ("how to implement a FAT12 file system driver for my floppy disk" vs. "file system"), actually finding the information you desire will be trivial.

You might also want to try working on your grammar and punctuation. I know that not everybody is a grammar whiz, but I had to read your post several times in order to figure out what you actually wanted. Tip: there's a lot of difference between "can" and "can't"...

Hope this helps. Please don't take this badly, it's meant constructively. What in particular are you looking for?

Oop's sry. Well then to narrow my topic down I was hoping to find help for implementing fat 16 or 32 for my OS. Its will not be on a floppy I plan to have it on a hard drive one the file system is implemented. (if there are other file systems that are easier too implement than fat I'm open to options).

At the top of the page it reads "The OSDev.org Wiki - Got a question? Search this first!". And the OS Dev Wiki has an article about File Systems, inkluding a comparison summary of FAT vs. Ext2 vs. SFS, plus a list of links to subpages on the individual file systems and their implementation details.

You won't get a forum post more in-depth than these pages.
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.
