This project included in-depth understanding of Minix Operating System, especially the File System and implemetation of Immediate Files. This website is a detailed account of work done during 2014-2015 on this project. Here is a link to previous years work on this project.

1.Understanding the Operating System

Prior to implemetation of imeediate files, it is recommended that one has a general idea on how the operating system work and go through some source code along with reading the book -Operating Systems: Design And Implementation 3rd Edition by Andrew Tanenbaum for a better understanding of the logic behind the design and ease in implementation of the target.

2.Roadmap for Implementation of Immediate File System

Immediate file system is basically a new feature included in file system to reduces the access time to the files. Implemetation deals with the changing the source code of minix file system to include immediate files.
