GLMF 168: La magie des filesystems

This article has 2 parts:

• Part 1 describes the various uses of filesystems. For example, the stacking of various filesystems used in LiveCD or LiveUSB systems is described. Then the article explains how to modify a system of this kind. Another example is the setup of an NFS share in order to boot raspberry pi boards through the network; the article describes how to abstract the different hardware architecture at the server and at the client, and how to manage the concurrent access to the NFS share.
• Part 2 shows that it is not so hard to implement your own filesystem.

Both parts are available in GNU/Linux Magazine 168 (february 2014) (p.20 and p.76).

Update: These articles are now available online for free: part 1 and part 2.
