Thanks to get such fast and useful replies. I would like to ask one more that
Can some one tell me where to find the code for the procedure 'delete'. ie the code that runs when a file is deleted from an ext3 filesystem.. where is this code placed.
Regards
Ranju.

low-level functions would be one of the easier ways of accomplishing
this, since all of the low-level extent manipulation functions are
coded in libext2fs. On the other hand, you'll learn more about the
low-level filesystem layout if you do it yourself; sone one is
probably better from an engineering perspective in terms of making a
robust and useful and long-term more easily maintained tool --- and
the other approach is better from a pedagogical perspective.
