Filesystem in Userspace is a simple interface for userspace programs to export a virtual filesystem to the Linux kernel. It also aims to provide a secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own filesystem implementations.

OpenSolaris is an open source project created by Sun Microsystems to build a developer community around the Solaris Operating System technology.

MacFUSE implements a mechanism that makes it possible to implement a fully functional file system in a user-space program on Mac OS X (10.4 and above). It aims to be API-compliant with the FUSE ... [More] (File-system in USErspace) mechanism that originated on Linux. Therefore, many existing FUSE file systems become readily usable on Mac OS X. The core of MacFUSE is in a dynamically loadable kernel extension. Although MacFUSE has a completely different kernel-level implementation from Linux FUSE, it supports the FUSE specification well enough that many popular FUSE file systems can be easily compiled and work on Mac OS X--often out of the box.

The goal of the Syllable project is to create a family of easy-to-use free software operating systems. It is the continuation of the BeOS-like AtheOS. Syllable Desktop has its own C kernel with ... [More] symmetric multiprocessing, multithreaded pre-emptive multitasking, high POSIX compliancy, 64-bit journaled filesystem (AFS) with metadata, an integrated native GUI architecture with an object-oriented C++ API, SDL, singular native toolkit and multi-user desktop environment. The system seeks to be an integrated, lightweight, easy-to-program, powerful, high-performance graphical desktop environment which avoids legacy OS paradigms that frustrate developers and have hindered the computing masses' adoption of a free-software desktop. Syllable Server is a matching small and efficient Linux server. [Less]

DragonFly is an operating system and environment originally based on FreeBSD. DragonFly is developing a radically different approach to concurrency, SMP, and most other kernel subsystems. DragonFly ... [More] belongs to the same class of operating system as BSD and Linux and is based on the same UNIX ideals and APIs. [Less]

The HelenOS project is an effort to develop a complete and usable modern operating system, yet offering room for experimenting and research. HelenOS uses its own microkernel written from scratch and ... [More] supports SMP, multitasking and multithreading on both 32-bit and 64-bit, little-endian and big-endian processor architectures, among which are AMD64/EM64T (x86-64), ARM, IA-32, IA-64 (Itanium), 32-bit MIPS, 32-bit PowerPC, SPARC V9 and Xen 3.0. Thanks to the relatively high number of supported architectures and suitable design, HelenOS is extremely-well portable. [Less]

AuroraUX is an operating system distribution based on the OpenSolaris kernel source base. The goal of the AuroraUX project is to create a high reliability core operating system using the US Department ... [More] of Defense-developed Ada programming language. While it is meant to be minimalistic and used as a base for other distributions, it will also be functional as an operating system in itself. #auroraux @ irc.freenode.net [Less]

Pooled storage file system's main aim is to eliminate the concept of fixed size volumes. Pools are collection of partitions which can be dynamically expand and contract whenever the user needs ... [More] (even when the file system is mounted) Files which are larger than the available free space in the volume, cannot fit in the volume. To increase the volume size, you have to add more partitions to the volumes, which involves formatting the entire volume. But in PFS, just type pfs add pool_name /dev/partition and TADA!!!! ur pool size increases immediately! Our project blog: http://www.pfs-inodz.blogspot.com/ [Less]

Virtual Disk project plan to create a file based virtual disk tools. It will provides simple file management and many features, such as security, snapshot etc.

A Linux kernel module to see how the virtual file system and particularly how ext3 works.
