Hi,
I'm currently working on an implementation of the Unix 6th Edition's
filesystem for Linux. I think earlier Unix filesystems should be very
similar to it. I would like to implement them, too, but I don't have
exact descriptions of them (for the 6th Edition I've the Lions Book;
there is not much about the actual filesystem architecture in it, but
it should be enough - together with the code ;-).
Please send me descriptions, specifications and everything else
you've about the early Unix filesystems. Also filesystem images are
very welcome as I can use them to test my implementation.
My e-mail account can only handle attachments <3000KB. Please
compress or split the files if they are bigger than 3000KB.
Thank you
Sven

I have hacked together a version of a Unix 5th (and 6th)
Edition filesystem for Linux. It is read only, and was written for
Linux 2.0 on an x86 and so will require a little work to install on
other systems and newer kernels, but it is fun to be able to mount
old disk images.
Cheers,
Warren
