Although we can read the source code to get all things that we want to know as a programmer, a good document is helpfull for understanding the source code. I am debugging the AXFS code and researching its implement , I think a good document is very precious ,but there is no such . Could you mind please introuducing your architecture design ? Detailed info will be welcomed . For example , ext2 file system , we will get a ext2 file system specification, such as super block , and how to organize the structures of ext2 , Would you mind please introducing these related info ? By the way , have you managed the AXFS specification ? if yes ,many programmer will join the AXFS group .
