title: How can I implement a custom iNode on linux?
body: <p>So every directory, file, queue or whatever in Linux creates it's own inodes that can be accessed in one way or another. How would I go about implementing my own inode type that doesn't quite fit any of the existing descriptions? A custom something that is visible in the file system but isn't a file? Do I have to extend the kernel or is there some simpler approach?</p>
