    Hi,

    re: file system info and filesystem information

    When I browse the struct task_struct, there are 3 similar fields. . .

    //1. file system info

    int link_count, total_link_count;

    . . .

    //2. filesystem information

    struct fs_struct *fs;

    . . .

    //3. open file information

    struct files_struct *files;

    Anyone know the differences?

      Well, I don't really know the difference but... aren't the names explanatory by themselves?
      //1. file system info
      int link_count, total_link_count;
      File of information related to the system
      //2. filesystem information
      struct fs_struct *fs;
      What's the doubt here? The struct holds the information of the filesystem
      [/quote]
      //3. open file information
      struct files_struct *files;
      Struct with information of a particular file

      Although I repeat: I don't know it, just playing around with the comments ;)

      Anything you want to know about the kernel is here: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/

      They maintain the kernel, support Linus Torvalds so he can devote full time work on the kernel. You have to find info by searching.
