I am developing an operating system using C, Assembler and the GCC Cross Compiler. I have already implemented a working kernel that prints to the screen and allows the user to type in some simple commands. I have already looked into some file systems such as FAT32 and LFS. What other options do I have about implementing my very own filesystem?

This is too broad for Stack Overflow. I recommend you start with FUSE. – Colonel Thirty Two Mar 01 '16 at 23:12

Do you have working device drivers? Otherwise you're stuck with a ram disk. – Daniel Jour Mar 01 '16 at 23:24

I don't have any working device drivers yet but I will look into that. – Razor Mar 02 '16 at 00:09

There is support for dozens of file systems in the linux source code, why don't use start there? – chqrlie Mar 02 '16 at 21:40

Use an open source, BSD/MIT license filesystem. No need to reinvent the wheel. FreeBSD UFS perhaps? if your OS is GPL compatible, just use ext2/3/4 or XFS. – Will Jul 03 '16 at 02:28

@Will Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into that. – Razor Jul 03 '16 at 03:49

There's always Practical File System Design with the Be File System (PDF).

This eBook has lots of info about file system concepts. It seems to provide me with lots of code as well. – Razor May 21 '16 at 09:06
