Writing STAMFS - A Loop With 8 Iterations

• When writing a file-system, we need to implement several layers of "objects".
• To make life simpler, lets develop it using user-mode-linux...
• ... and using loopback mount ("file-system in a file").
• Lets see how to do that in 8 iterations.
• Important Note: the VFS is a very delicate creature. if you load half-written file system code, it might try to access not-implemented functions/structs and crash. The code in the steps below might cause some crashes for the system - do not panic.
