hello sir.....
              myself Nandan, i had completed my engineering in Computer Science. sir i am beginner to filesystem. i want to understand tux3 filesystem pl help me.
i want to understand the source. from where should i begin to trace the code pl help me sir.........

Hi,

I am trying to port TUX3 onto the ARM9 environment. Since this is the first time I am working on a file-system, I am trying to first mount the TUX3 on my linux machine.

I have followed the instructions given in this link: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0812.3/01600.html

But, I get stuck in this line: mount /dev/<testpartition> /mnt.  The machine hangs when I try to mount the TUX3 onto an external-pen-drive that I have mapped as /dev/sdb1/

The dmesg info taken after hard-rebooting my machine is:
..........
... sdb: sdb1
... sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk <<<after this the machine hangs>>>
..........

The mkfs command works fine before I try to mount, since I could find "tux3" listed under the "/proc/filesystems", though it does not say "nodev" against it. (i am not sure if this "nodev" not showing up is critical observation)

It will be great if anyone can help me in mounting TUX3 onto the linux machine.

TIA.

Warm Regards,

Balkrishnan
