I suspect that you will post the question "How can I obtain world domination?" soon...

First of all, are you really doing all of the things you have asked for at the _same_ time? One thing that might help you solve your own problems is if you concentrate and really think on one thing at least more than two nanoseconds...

Anyway... To create a brand new filesystem you should check existing designs (FAT, NTFS, HPFS, Ext2, ReiserFS etc) and think what features you want to support. For example, do you want to support big hard drives, transaction logging, fast access, quotas, inbuilt security etc... Then you think about how it is done in the other filesystems and either use an existing layout or creates your own...
