- reminded of ReiserFS by the [recent letter Hans Reiser](https://ftp.mfek.org/Reiser/Letters/%E2%84%962%20Hans%E2%86%92Fred/reiser_response.pdf) wrote, let’s dig into the source of the file system.
  - [To understand the code, after reading the website, start reading the  
code by reading reiserfs\_fs.h first.](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/9d64bf433c53cab2f48a3fff7a1f2a696bc5229a/fs/reiserfs/README#L81)
    - [reiserfs\_fs.h](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2/include/linux/reiserfs_fs.h)

- it would be a great exercise to hack on a file system
  - [how do you start?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4714056/how-to-implement-a-very-simple-filesystem)
    - [FUSE](https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse) may be a great choice
