Simple Filesystem

Simulated UNIX File System Project for Operating Systems course.

How to Build and Use

To build the code, install either CLion (from Jetbrains) or cmake (with your package manager).

The project also requires the essential build tools (make, C compiler, linker, assembler, etc.) so make sure you also have these installed (e.g. use sudo apt-get install build-essential on Ubuntu).

To build with CLion, open the project, select the sfstest target, and click the green "Build and Run" button. If you don't get any output in the console, this is because of a bug in CLion. Run the generated sfstest program in your terminal and it will work correctly.

To build with cmake, use the following commands after cd'ing to the project root.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

The test program (sfstest) is now in the build/tests directory and can be executed.

There is also an included unit test suite, which generates an executable called tests. All tests in the suite should pass.
