Creating a file system?

[CrimsonAngel]

So i have this school project where i have to create a file system for a "hard drive" in unix...

Basically it will access a file that is to be put in to a hard drive to create the file system

What i need to do is to create this file and do basic things like make methods to create directories and simulative other unix commands

What im looking for is some place to start and any information such as sources or links you guys could give me would be fantastic ^ ^

Thanks,
Crim

I think you should read some operating system book like Maurice J. Bach or may be Andrew Tanenbaum where you can find the implementation of minix.

understanding the basic designs of how a file system is implemented will make your work easy.

more ideas of implementation of kernel can be read from some kernel programming books like robert love which is the most basic book and tells different parts of kernel in simple way.
