If you want to examine or play around with a new filesystem, you might want to checkout the following article: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/souptonuts/README_Virtual_FS.html?download I shows you how to build a filesystem from a file, so you do not need any new hardware. The article will walk you through each step, so if you have never created a filesystem, then, this will guide you. If you want to become an expert, examine and learn about the superblock, this is a safe, contained way to do it. OK, different topic. Is it FILESYSTEM or FILE SYSTEM? If you look at http://www.namesys.com/ (the reiserfs home page) it as one word -- filesystem. Also if you look at the kernel source in Documentation "filesystem" is used 641 times in the text of the documentation and "file system" is used 147. Also, http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Filesystems-HOWTO-1.html and some other links use filesystem as on word. I have always written it as two words; but, since I see it used so often as one word, I used it as one word for this article. Plus, I liked the innovation of Reiserfs. Since they used this as one word I stuck with it. Regardless, I think you might like the article.
