OVLFS: LIST OF DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENTS
This directory contains many useful files in addition to the source files for
the ovlfs. Here is a listing of these files and a brief description of their
contents and/or intended purpose:
BUGS
Bugs found during implementation and testing that have been,
or need to be, addressed.
GLOSSARY
Some (attempts at) definitions for terms used throughout the
documentation and source code.
IDEAS
Some ideas for implementing the ovlfs as well as a high level
plan of implementation.
INPROGRESS
The current status of items that are under development at the
current time.
ISSUES
Items of concern for the author that affect the entire concept
and implementation of the ovlfs.
NOTES
Miscellaneous notes made during development. Interesting
reading for filesystem developers, especially if they want to
laugh at the author ;-).
OTHER_INFO
List of information that the ovlfs needs to maintain that other
filesystems do not keep. This file was created in response to
an idea to use an existing filesystem driver as a Storage
Method. The items listed prevent the use of such a filesystem
driver as a Storage Method.
OVL_STG_EXAMPLE.c
A skeleton source file, or template, for a new Storage Method.
QUESTIONS
Questions and answers. This file is inmature.
REQUIREMENTS
A list of requirements for implementation. As of this writing,
requirements for the VFS filesystem interface and the Storage
Method operations have been documented.
STATUS
Some status items. Not much here, at least not yet. Most of
the status has been tracked as updates to the TODO file.
StorageOps
A brief analysis of the Storage Method concept. Used to drive
the original design of the Storage Method functionality.
SUBPROJECTS
A list and description of major areas of work that the author
is working on or wants to work on.
TODO
List of items discovered during implementation and testing that
need to be done.
TODO.NOW
List of items to be done for the currently active development.
TROUBLE_SHOOTING
Notes on problems using the ovlfs and possible solutions.
