(07/26/18) — Since we are not supporing deletion, you do not need to use a full-fledged freespace tracking structure. Simply store the dividing line between the in-use blocks and the free ones. Do you an entire block for this, however, as we are simulating a minimum unit of allocation.

Midterm Topics (PDF)

Project 4: File System
Project 3: Virtual Memory
Project 2: Syscalls
- We will be using a different version of Linux and QEMU (x86-based instead of ARM) for this project. The disk image and a copy of QEMU for windows is available by clicking here. For Mac users, you can download an older but GUI-based : Q.app. Point it at the tty.qcow2 disk image in the above zip.
- For Linux users and Mac users wanting to use the homebrew version, I have a test version of the disk image and a start.sh script to run it. It should be identical to the above version in terms of functionality, but actually boot with a recent version of QEMU. IF THE ORIGINAL WORKS FOR YOU, DON'T BOTHER WITH THIS ONE.
