Getting COSMOS to remember things

Hey all, I'm building a COSMOS kernel in C# and need to know how to write a file system so My kernel can remember things like the contents of a text file and passwords. I've used System.IO in regular Console Applications before but as you may know this writes files to the host OS. I need my kernel to remember things on it's own. I've done a ton of research and have found nothing but how to do it in assembly or C. Can someone give me some help?

How can you be building a kernel without knowing how to write to disk? You need to do some research into file systems and kernel IO.

This is most definitely a topic that is way too large to discuss in a couple of forum posts. There's no way someone is going to explain all of the base concepts of file systems and their design in a forum environment.

If you've really done a ton (not "tone") of research, you've obviously had your eyes closed.

All you had to do was type "how to design a file system" into Google and you'd come up with 200,000,000+ results.
