The three most important things for a file system are
(a) implementing the specificied file system data format in a robust manner so other implementations can read the same data.
(b) provide the correct interface to the operating system to access the file system
(c) everything between (a) and (b) is up to you!
The watch words should be "robustness" and then "performance", no point in having a high performance file system that trashes your disks.

sys::filesystem::darwin
Sys::Filesystem::Darwin(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Sys::Filesystem::Darwin(3pm)
NAME
Sys::Filesystem::Darwin - Return Darwin (Mac OS X) filesystem information to Sys::Filesystem
SYNOPSIS
See Sys::Filesystem.
DESCRIPTION
The filesystem information is taken from diskutil, the system utility supplied on Mac OS X.
INHERITANCE
Sys::Filesystem::Darwin
ISA Sys::Filesystem::Unix
ISA UNIVERSAL
METHODS
version ()
Return the version of the (sub)module.
ATTRIBUTES
The following is a list of filesystem properties which may be queried as methods through the parent Sys::Filesystem object.
The property 'label' is also set, but cannot be queried by Sys::Filesystem yet.
mount_point
The mount point (usually either '/' or '/Volumes/...').
device
The mounted device
format
Describes the type of the filesystem. So far I encountered the following types:
hfs The standard Mac OS X HFS(+) filesystem. Disk images (.dmg) and Mac Software DVDs normally also use the HFS(+) format.
msdos
DOS image files (e.g. floppy disk images)
cd9660
CD-ROM image files or real CD-ROMs
cddafs
Audio CDs
udf UDF filesystem (e.g. DVDs)
(empty)
For mounted FTP servers, disktool returns an empty filesystem type (ie, '').
BUGS
Doesn't take /etc/fstab or /etc/xtab into account right now, since they are normally not used. Contact the author if you need this.
