I've begun creating a concept for a new filesystem, and ideally once it's completed, rich, and stable I'd try to get it into the kernel. What would be the process for this? I'd assume a patch sequence, but they'd all be dependent on each other, and sending in tons of dependent patches doesn't sound like a great idea. I've seen requests for pulls, but since I'm new here I don't really know what to do. Thank you for guidance! Best regards, Amy Parker she/her/hers
