WUFS tools are written in node.js with the following purpose:
- Create a a raw disk image for use in Bochs or QEMU, or for subsequently converting into another virtual hard drive form (I use qemu-img).
- Inject a boot loader
- Initialize a file system, usage bitmap and root folder.
- Inject the kernel executable into the root folder.
While tools exist to do much of this, I wanted something that was a script so it would be transparent, contemporary and easy to modify for those who (more than likely) want to roll their own file system rather than use an existing or my WUFS file system.
Not that there is anything wrong with existing file systems. It just that, as OS Devs, we like to do our own thing!
(And if anyone wants to contribute an existing file systems to the WUFS tools, or their own to make it more well known, let me know!)
It also includes a handy (if a little slow) raw disk dump utility, that is file system independent and produces compact hex/ascii output like this:
