This is still a work in progress. ext2 writes are quite broken, so they
have been completely disabled, but there's a new tmpfs mounted to /tmp
that you can try to poke at. I'm still fixing up quirks in the VFS that
make it incompatible with a bunch of stuff, but I did manage to write
some files with vim, and swap files appear to be working at least
somewhat. It's all still broken as fuck.
* Works with different block sizes
* Works with different inode sizes
* Tested on a real EXT2 file system made with mkfs.ext2
* MBR reading is available
* You can specify a partition with hdd=0 or hdd=1 etc.
* If you make a "real" disk image, you can get GRUB installed in
its MBR, toss in a suitable config file, and boot right off the
disk rather than having to use QEMU to boot the kernel or using
some silly CDROM ramdisk nonsense.
- Can now register a userspace file descriptor as the output for kernel
print statements through kprintf()
- Can set logging levels for debug print messages, which are separate
from kernel log events and meant to be more readily visible. Log
events are recorded in a buffer to be viewed later, though nothing
actually using logging at the moment.
- Serial output is disabled by default now. You can enable it yourself
by appending the logtoserial argument to the kernel on boot.
