![]() ![]() ![]() Then, rather than appending whole drivers to the front of every file, you could just append a pointer to the proper file driver on the metapartition. Maybe the metapartition at the beginning of the disk could include file drivers. Then the author takes it a step further and applies this concept to individual files, in a fairly direct fashion, pointing out that there are some kinks with this that could be worked out, such as file size (when every little file includes its own bulky driver). All an OS needs is to be able to read whatever simple (but stable!!) filesystem is holding the drivers for the rest of the partitions (where the “real” data is) and have the ability to assume from data in this meta-partition how to mount / address / drive (via drivers) the partitions on this disk. So, my understanding (taking a few liberties) is that we’re talking about putting the filesystems for all the partitions on disk in a sort of meta-partition at the beginning of the disk.
