Hi,
Recently I read the BeOS www page, and answerd a question in other mailing
list. Both things have remind me of a pretty file system: 'cdfs'.
Anybody knows if there is a port of 'cdfs' (Audio CD File System) for Linux ?
Which fs now in kernel would be good as a template to start ?
I am always looking for something enough easy to start kernel programming,
and this could be a nice start (look, throw away all your ripping soft
and just do a 'cp').

There is a cdfs, but it does more then just adding audio CDs to the namespace...
Take a look at:

Of course it doesn't work. We've performed a software upgrade.

Below is one response to a similar question from the l-k archive:
From: David Balazic <[email protected]>

Subject: Re: CD-ROM Driver Design
There are already two file-systems for CD-audio on Linux :
- cdfs at
http://www.elis.rug.ac.be/~ronsse/cdfs/
- audiofs at
http://fly.cc.fer.hr/~ptolomei/audiofs/
Are you sure there is a need for a third one ? The audiofs uses the
CDROMREADAUDIO for reading the data and uses the page-cache for caching. I
personally added the page-cache code , but I don't believe it makes a lot
of sense, because when ripping audio, you read data sequentially , so the
cache just eats all free RAM ( possibly throwing out other more usefull
cached data ) and gives almost no gain. By the way , when there is a
"normal" FS on a "normal" block device, does the data get cached twice,
once in buffer-cache and once in page-cache ?

Oh, NO. All my searchs give no result, thanks to all the people who
answered.
I will try those links.

Just to clarify: also the "Are you sure there..." part was from the David
Balazic's mail. I should have quoted more clearly.
