[linuxdc-dev] FS design

[Adrian M. <ad...@mc...>]

This is more a general filesystem design question than an SH specific one - 
but if is for the vmu fs on the dreamcast...

I am seeking to implement write on this (read only currently works). One can 
now successfully delete files on the system, but I am not sure how best to 
implement writing/creating a file.

Should creating a new file be handled in file::write, or is it dealt with by a 
dissferent set of system calls?

The vmu fs is FAT based so the "inode"s created are entirely synthetic - it is 
easy to 'create' an inode but there is a real dislocation between that and 
writing a file out to disk and I am just trying to get my head round the 
appropriate sequence of calls....
