CS2124_filesystem

CS2124 semester project

The simulation of the file system aimed to understand the basics of how hash tables of file systems work. There are many file systems like NTFS, EFI etc. But in this project we build a (virtual) file system that will be simple enough. C++ will be used as reference languages.

Installations

Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/lablnet/CS2124_filesystem.git

This project work with every c++ compilers in Linux and MacOs:

1. Cmake
2. GNU G++
3. Clang

Build on GNU G++

g++ --std=c++17 main.cpp -lstdc++fs && ./a.out

Build on Clang

clang++ --std=c++17 main.cpp -lstdc++fs && ./a.out

Build on Cmake

Build it

cmake .

make

Run

./AlphaFileSystem

Goal

• To understand how file systems work underneath the hood.
• Understand Applications of Hash table and other data structure and algorithm.

Requirements

1. This file system is able to write, read, copy, move, and delete files.
2. This file system allows you to create a folder.
3. The files and folder record should be read and written into the Hash table of the file system.
4. Merge the files and folder into one file so to called img file to behave as virtual file system (Optional)
5. GUI using QT C++ (Optional)

There are two requirements options: if time is left and I found time then I will try my best to implement those as well.
