As a practice task, they also have to use C to make a program with some Kernel functionalities. This year this task consists on programming a File System (I chose FAT32 since I thought it was the easiest one to implement) using FUSE and simulating a Hard Disk and a RAID behavior.<div>
<br></div><div>Since I'm not a Kernel expert I'm looking for some advice and ideas. The aim of the practice task I'm creating is to help the students make a program that simulates the behavior and functionalities of a Kernel (such as a File System, Memory Administrator, Planner, etc.), but at the same I would like those programs to really interact with the Kernel, being not only ideal simulation cases (like FUSE). But, as I said, I don't know that much to have a good idea of what can I use to make the most from the Kernel in the task.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I could really use some ideas!</div><div><br></div><div>Some of the things I have in mind:</div><div><br></div><div><div class="im" style="color: rgb(80, 0, 80); "><div>- Use netlinks</div><div>- Build a kernel module </div>
