struct filesystem_type

• Represents filesystem type and is registered by module which handles such filesystem type

• Important fields (struct file_system_type):

• • get_sb() - mounts new instance of filesystem on given device and directory (e.g. ext3_get_sb()) and creates and fills in super_block
  • kill_sb() - unmounts filesystem instance
  • name – name of filesystem type (e.g. “ext3”)
  • fs_flags – various flags which tell how to handle this filesystem type (e.g. FS_REQUIRES_DEV)
