The Kernel requires a filesystem to start up. In unix terms this means it's /sbin/init or /linuxrc. It's also important that the OS is able to read and write all common file systems.

FUSE

User-space implementation of a filesystem API.

  • Requires kernel module that is standard in 2.6 kernels
  • Good examples of custom implementation

NTFS

ntfs-3g is a project giving unlimited read-write access to ntfs fiel system partitions. With this library and FUSE ntfs partitions can be treated almost transparently by linux.
