Re: GSoC 2016

Hello sir,

I installed and start using NetBSD. I am focusing on Ext3fs Journal details. My project will be to extend the existing code to allow for full ext3 write support. I am thinking of doing this by
implementing the journaling layer for EXT3 and Ext3fs as two entirely independent modules.

I am soon going to submit the project proposal to get reviewed it by the NetBSD Team which will give all details(goal,scope, delivery-list,etc,.) of the project.

Hello Sir,

Alright, I started some ext2fs specific thing, and trying to understand the code. And I refer to Linux docs for understanding of ext4fs. The heading in my ext4fs understanding includes documentation
For "extents" and "block groups".
Another term for research: multiblock alllocator.

I cloned NetBSD src on Linux. I am thinking of building cross compiler for NetBSD on Linux
Kindly instruct me further

Hi sir,
I am pursuing BTech (branch CSE) at National Institute of Technology Warangal, (India). I have implemented a basic unix file system(system V fs) with limited functionality for linux-kernel-3.13.0.48. Now I am interested in contribution to open source especially in netbsd-filesystem project (adding journalism in ext3fs or writing in ext4fs) by applying in GSoC 2016. and improve my skills. Please instruct me further.
