site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Tiger now offers a stable VFS interface. However it is now very, very different from any *BSD out there, so porting will be a more arduous task. The Darwin 8 source is now available and you should be able to find the msdos and webdav VFS plug-ins up there. They should get you started. I believe there is some documentation on the kernel interfaces available in the xnu dir too. Now that Tiger is shipping I would not spend the time trying to support Panther and Jaguar's un-supported VFS interface. On Apr 30, 2005, at 2:04 PM, Aniello Del Sorbo wrote:

Hi all,
My apologies if this has been discussed before on this list. I'm new to Mac OS X from a Linux background. I am trying to port a filesystem i wrote for Linux into Mac. But I couldn't find any documentation on how the VFS operates in the Mac kernel. Does the Mac allow you ro register your own filesystem? I read that currently the kernel allows only leaf filesystems and not stackable ones. What is the difference between them? I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could provide any links/ documentation etc.
Regards, Bijoy Thomas.
Hi all too,
these questions interest me too. I've looked at the documentation and it stated that the VFS is currently uder big changes. Are these changes stable now in Tiger?
Thanks.
