I did the same thing few days back and asked the same question few days back :)

It is very simple. All you need is to codify your structs. Then write
a simple mkfs-yourfs.c which will fopen the given input file, write
(by type casting to a char *) the struct pointer which contains your
filesystem structure and then closes the file. It is as simple as that
:)

All the best.
