Hello,

I think you are looking for following:

fs/ext2/super.c:

init_ext2_fs()-> register_filesystem(&ext2_fs_type)-> ext2_get_sb()->ext2_fill_super()

For every file system in linux kernel,  first it register itself with register_filesystem().
Here this call is called when ext2  module is loaded. Then when file system is mount
it will call ext2_fill_super() which will read the on disk super block and load it into memory.

The on disk super block is written when user format the device with given file system.

I hope that will help.

hi folks,
I'm looking the source code about linux file system recently. I have scanned over ext2,
and now I'm very curious about how does the kernel setup the ext2 up, but I couldn't locate
the corresponding code. Could anybody give any advice for me?

Thanks,
owr
