technical question

[codehangen]

Hi carlosgaldino.

I read your article on creating a filesystem in rust here: gotenksfs - my question would be whether it was possible to create a non-hierarchical file system. My idea would be for this filesystem to only work with urls.

What is URL "URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. A URL is nothing more than the address of a given unique resource on the Web. In theory, each valid URL points to a unique resource. Such resources can be an HTML page, a CSS document, an image, etc [...]" - mozilla/What_is_a_URL

Why? This is a random idea I had today, I've been studying a lot about search and information systems recently and I've been interested in this subject. This would theoretically allow creating a non-linear or non-hierarchical file system.

Usually url is used on the web and I couldn't find information about a non-linear, non-hierarchical filesystem. So I initially thought of adopting the url standard (which is a widely accepted, standardized and used format today) in this theoretical and conceptual file system.

The gotenksfs project is an interesting project and I'm thinking of using it to start this non-linear file system project. I would be happy if you can give an answer, suggestion, criticism or advice if technically this idea is good or not, as you know filesystems and made a great post about how to create a rusty filesystem.
