File system work slowly getting shape

Today, Dec 19 2007, at 17:39, I have successfully mounted an instance of the not-yet-finished tmpfs file system as a root file system and opened a file located on it. It should not take long before we are able to read from and write to this file system, as well as to perform other operations.

Update: on Dec 23 2007, around 23:38, HelenOS successfully completed its historical first read from a file on a tmpfs file system. Merry Christmas!

Update: on Feb 21 2008, the last unimplemented VFS operation remains rename(). Other than that, the VFS and TMPFS are capable enough, to handle all major file system calls, i.e. mount(), open(), close(), read(), write(), lseek(), ftruncate(), opendir(), readdir(), rewinddir(), closedir(), mkdir(), rmdir() and unlink().
