You will probably also need to implement the readdir function.  This is
a pretty good beginner's guide for writing file systems:

http://www.geocities.com/ravikiran_uvs/articles/rkfs.html

I went through the link. It's good document. I have one more such link http://lwn.net/Articles/57369/. But the problem with the file systems from these two links is  "they contain static files and directories. we can't create files or delete".

So, I thought of adding that functionality. But, I am stuck in the middle of it.

Please someone help or at least point me to some more such links.

Thanks and regards,
Prasad.
