# vapfs_ufs
2023-08-12 17:03:23 -07:00
a (relatively) simple filesystem for the vap operating system, based on the unix filesystem
## structure
proper documentation of the filesystem is still in progress, however comments across the codebase should provide
a good idea of how the filesystem is structured. if you're looking for a good place to start, check out the
`src/structs.rs` file, which contains the structures used to represent the filesystem on-disk.
## justification
originally, we were planning on using a reimplementation of another UNIX-like filesystem for vap, however due to
the reasons listed in [our blog post](https://voremicrocomputers.com/blog/posts/filesystems_and_apm/index.html), we
decided to go with a custom filesystem instead. more information about our justification can be found in the blog post,
however feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions.
