Stackable file systems promise to ease the development of file systems[6, 16, 19]. Operating system vendors, however, resist making extensive changes to support stacking, because of the impact on performance and stability. Existing file system interfaces differ from system to system and they support extensibility poorly. Consequently, extending file system functionality across platforms is difficult. We propose a new language, FiST, to describe stackable file systems. FiST uses operations common to file system interfaces. From a single description, FiST’s compiler produces file system modules for multiple platforms. The generated code handles many kernel details, freeing developers to concentrate on the main issues of their file systems. Th...
