I searched the fs/Makefile for "ext2" It comes in the All_SUB_DIRS variable setting. I already have added myfs entry for this varible. That is the reason why it went to fs/myfs in make dep. But that does not solve the purpose. I once again tell you what am I doing. I created a directory as fs/myromfs. I copioed into this folder everything that was present in fs/romfs. Then I changed the romfs_fs.h to myromfs_fs.h with all MACROS changed appropriatly. I included this file in namei.c. I even made changes to all ROMxxx to MYxxx in inode.c file. I changed the Makefile for myromfs as well. Now my problem is how do i compile it. I tried make from myromfs dir. but it gave error as TOPDIR not set. So in the Makefile of myromfs I added a entry as $TOPDIR=/usr/src/linux/ That started the compilation but proper gcc params were not set so gcc failed. That made me confirmed that $TOPDIR must be comented. Now I tried to compile from fs dir but again same mesage appared. So I went one level up and tried to do make at /usr/src/linux This is I suppose making kernel. It did work but with out much results. I then went on to make dep here only. This time it did go to fs/myromfs and displayed the message 'leaving the dir /usr/src/linux/fs/myromfs' Now what should I do. In otherwords, How do i create the new filesysytem using the given src and makefiles? Thanks a lot for your Time and Space.
