- Hi all,
-
- I was wondering what exactly you can and cannot do from within an xfs.
- For example, I'd still like to write a UNIXMODE fs, which would be based
- on TOSfs. Should I use a trick like ofake? Can I call GEMDOS through the
- kernel structure to open a file? I can always copy TOSfs and hack on it,
- but TOSfs still changes a lot, and it would duplicate a lot of code.
- It would be nice to be able to do this sort of thing, I keep dreaming
- of a zoo fs. (cd /z/a/newstuff.zoo;ls ;-)
-
- Another question: Is it possible to use some sort of timer in an xfs to
- periodically sync(), without using a seperate update process? Can I just
- hook into a timer vector (vsync)?
-
- Bart.
