- Hi LINUX people!
-
- A friend of mine needs information about the linux file system
- for a thesis in his study. If anybody can answer one of the following
- questions or knows about literature please send me an e-mail.
-
- The general subject is "The LINUX File System". Some of the related
- questions are:
-
- - How is the LINUX file system structured?
-
- - How are the inodes or vnodes structured?
-
- - Does LINUX do buffered write? Is there a sync? Is there an
- update process?
-
- - How are DOS- and MINIX-disks mounted under LINUX?
-
- - How is the superblock structered?
-
- So if anybody can give some hints and wants to help a student
- please answer. As I'm not a read of this group (I don't know
- LINUX, anyway), please answer by e-mail to my address.
-
- Thanks in advance!
