As of the writing of this paper, comprehensive design documentation is
well underway with most of the on-device layout established and many
of the algorithms described. A prototype which can read files by
inode number and can perform fairly simplistic layout of new files has
been written. It is currently undergoing a re-write to provide more
general block layout. Kernel code has not been started and will not
be until the documentation nears completion and the prototype is
managing directories and cleaning well.
