i trying to write my first file system. i have visual studio 6, ddk (and
ddkbuild.bat), sdk and ifsk. i also have rajeev’s nagar developer’s guide
to window’s nt file system internals. i want to get *something* up and
running so i can debug, modify, and hopefully learn. i have the choice of
the fat32 driver that comes with the ifs kit, or the skelaton driver that
comes with the rajeev nagar’s book. i would prefer to use this simple
driver as a stating point but am not sure about how to install it on my
test machine. the test machine has winnt installed on one disk, and the
other disk can be partioned, formated or whatever.
any help would be very much appreciated. thanks.

Places to start …
-
Attend a filesystem developers seminar … OSR offers a very complete
class.
-
Start with the Fat32 code since it is a working FSD that you can compile
and run.
-
Plan on twice as much time to develop your FSD than you would expect and
plan on much more test time than you could ever imagine.
Good luck!

Darragh,
File systems are horrendously complicated for a student to get into. If there isn’t anyone else at Trinity College Dublin who knows about file systems I would recommend looking for something a bit simpler - or is this a doctoral thesis project?
Good luck anyway
Andy.

I have found that CDFS is a very simple driver to start with since it
does not support writes.
