It looks like Peter and I can answer this one...

I have this available for FReq (1:323/107) or download (+1 401 944 8498):

IFSINF.ZIP    151K 12-07-94  How to create an Installable File System (.IFS)

This is a distribution directly from IBM, prepared by Mary Monahan.  It has:

I don't think I have any real IFS source code that I can let you see except:

IFSSRC.ZIP      5K  3-15-91  OS/2 Installable File System source example

This is just a skeleton derived from the source for HPFS.IFS:

Archive:  ifssrc.zip
 Length  Method   Size  Ratio   Date    Time   CRC-32     Name
 ------  ------   ----  -----   ----    ----   ------     ----
  15702  Implode   4213  73%  03-15-91  15:57  d8c6e3c6   OS220FSD.C
 ------          ------  ---                              -------
  15702            4213  73%                              1

If you ask more specific questions, perhaps I could help you.
