SOFS 19 - File System, using C++ Language with @dario-alv, GRADE: 14.7/20

On Ubuntu you need the following packages installed: build-essential, cmake, doxygen, libfuse-dev, and git.

sudo apt install build-essential cmake doxygen libfuse-dev git

In other Linux distributions you need equivalent packages installed.

In a directory of your choice, clone the project to your computer

cd «directory-of-your-choice»
git clone https://code.ua.pt/git/XXXXX

where XXXXX must be your project id.

In a terminal, enter the build directory of your project

cd XXXXX/sofs19/build

Then compile the code

cmake ../src
make

If you prefer ninja, instead of make

cmake -G Ninja ../src
ninja

The code is documented in doxygen. So, you can easily generate html documentation pages.

cd XXXXX/sofs19/doc
doxygen
firefox html/index.html &

Of course, you can change firefox by your favourite browser.

The following sequence of commands, where XXXXX is your project's id, allows you to mount a sofs file system

cd XXXXX/sofs19/bin
./createDisk /tmp/dsk 1000      # /tmp/dsk will be a disk with 1000 blocks
./mksofs /tmp/dsk               # format the disk as a sofs19 file system
mkdir /tmp/mnt                  # our mount point
./sofsmount /tmp/dsk /tmp/mnt   # mount the disk in the mount point

Now, everything created inside the mount point will be stored in disk (the /tmp/dsk file). You can use the showblock tool to check that out.

When editing your code, take into attention the following:

• Folder src/grp_src is the only one containing source code to be edited by students.

• Only files with termination .cpp are to be edited.

• There is a single function per file, with the exception of proposals for internal auxiliary functions in some cases.

• Please do not change the signature of the functions, nor delete the call to soProbe.

• We assume that only files with termination .cpp inside src/grp_src subfolders are editable by the groups. Thus, any changes to the other files can produce indesirable behavior during our tests, since we will use our version of them.
