I've put a document in /pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/sysv on sunsite.unc.edu
which describes my experiences integrating the original System V/386 filesystem
into the Linux kernel.

This was originally written to accompany the sysvb3.tar.Z file which I had
out there about 6 months ago.  The filesystem was taken over by a new maintainer,
and greatly expanded on, 
but this document could provide insights for a new filesystem hacker if
anyone's interested.

There is a postscript minimalist document, as well as all of the Latex docs
to accompany it.  Please remember this is all copyrighted material, but free
for the communities browsing and learning.  And integration into any future
docs which may appear...please give credit if/where credit is due...that's all
I ask...

Normal Linux copyrights apply, no profits may be seen from this paper, if
there are profits seen and the author is not contacted, you will be subject
to copyright infringement policies.

(Actually, it currently resides in /pub/Linux/Incoming ... but hopefully
it will be moved.)

Best wishes to the new filesystem maintainer, the System V filesystems are
great fun to work with if your a new filesystem hacker.

Also, best wishes to the Linux community, I'm off to new OO interests and 
probably won't be able to keep up with the newsgroups too much longer!  Best
luck with success and the bright future of the OS.  It is headed for greatness!
