    emulated Inode table

    Hi, I've been trying to find a solution to create the following, but was unable to do so: build an emulated i-node table can be made by scanning the target directory trees using the stat() system call and inserting the file control information read by the stat() call into the emulated i-node table. It should be noted, as the real i-node table in UNIX systems, this emulated i-node table should be addressable
    using the i-node numbers.

    I really dont know how to go about this. Can someone please help me.

    Thanks.

    What is the purpose of the emulated i-node table? You can make an arry of struct emulated_inode, where emulated_inode looks something like the actual i-node, but how far are you taking it? Will you have fragments, chained i-nodes, etc.?
    Insert obnoxious but pithy remark here
