As it comes time to work on my project again, it’s time to take stock and work out what my plan of action should be.
Looking at the code I have already, I think it’s clear that there is no way I will be able to write a kernel-level file system driver within the 2-3 weeks I have left. Fortunately, I had more or less expected this (as writing kernel code would be likely to take quite a while and be quite complex!) so I’m retreating to my fallback position: a FUSE-wrapped program that will interface with the metadata store.
Also on the cards is the use of Check as a C unit testing framework for my tree code – if I have time. At the moment, getting something to work is far more important than proving it is correct or works in all cases.
Finally, I need to come up with and write the demo programs, and I will shortly be posting about this and then asking the Twitterverse for ideas 
Time to enter Deep Coding Mode.
