MEMEfs Viewer
Projects | | Links:
This is a tool developed for UMBC’s CMSC421 - Operating Systems. It allows students to get information about a VMU image.
One of the assignments for the Fall 2018 and 2020 semesters was to implement a FUSE module to allow mounting VMU images on Linux. In order to aid students while developing their modules I made this tool that will read the image and allow inspection of various aspects. These aspects are focused towards developing the filesystem module, so for example it will show you the raw bytes of a file entry but will not attempt to read the contents of said file. We actually used this project twice with variations. The first time it was with a true VMU image, while the second time we made MEMEfs which was an extended version of VMUFS.
The images here are from the latest version of MEMEfs Viewer. Unfortunately I cannot share any code here or too many details as variations of the project will be given again. And plagiarism is not good.
