A custom application involving a high percentage of open and close file system calls has provided incentive to design and implement a new file system. The fact that many files are small, and that files are referenced by number instead of by name has allowed several design decisions to be made in an attempt to improve performance. The design of the file system is described, and a comparison is made between the new system and a more traditional system to see if the design has been successful.
