Could you recommend any good resources for someone new to file system technology that is interested in their inner-workings? Thanks!
- kabdib 15y agoPractical File System Design: http://www.letterp.com/~dbg/practical-file-system-design.pdf http://www.letterp.com/~dbg/practical-file-system-design.pdf NT File System Design (Rajeev Nagar) -- you can find this used. I believe his web site had a PDF copy for a while, sans pictures. My favorite book on transactions is Bernstein's Principles of Transaction Processing (may also be available as a PDF somewhere, from the author). Read the v6 Unix file system code. That will date me, but it's /simple/ and it works. You can move up from there. btrfs is neat. I haven't looked at the code.
