Current Status

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.
