until reaching feature parity for saving/loading files, renaming, etc.):

Notes:
- There might be too many data bits/blocks currently, since I did not subtract the number of inodes/inode bits to calculate the number of data bits, in the superblock. This is fixed on the next video.

Next video:
- Changing the boot process to work for this new disk image/file system

- Let me know if there's anything specific you'd like to see!
