filesystems - Exactly to what extent is Kernel structure and design dependent on the file system being used? -


for instance, lets hypothetically have access windows source code.

now can modify source code operate entirely on ext4 file system, instead of ntfs, changing code modules depend on exact file system being used? or major changes in way kernel works needed?

to extent file system being used affect kernel design?

(note: can switch above example case of reactos, open source clone of windows 2000 , supports fat file system, , ext4.

moreover, know windows source code not available public definitive opinion cannot given. i'm asking based on whatever known windows internals, given example, , per general principles of kernel design.)

generally, os kernel not dependent upon file systems. operating systems support multiple file systems.
