In university, one of my projects in Operating Systems was to build a file system.

I'd recommend anyone to do the same!

It does not have to be anything magical...just try to build a basic program that can emulate a file system (read files, write files, list files, have links, edit files, edit names, delete files, copy etc.)

The aim here is NOT to have a file system that you'll use daily, but to understand the concepts by programming them.

While this book goes into some details about it [0], I "understood" how it all worked together by building one.

FYI - I think the book focuses on C when giving examples, but if you know the concepts, it can be built in any language (Go, Java etc.)
