File System

Peter,

   How are you (or can you) separate the filesystem from the physical
layer of implementation?  That is, I'm wondering how to avoid 
redundant code when different media are presented -- floppy, hard drive,
Flash, CD, etc.  Does the filesystem change for each media or can
they be reused to an extent?

   Cheers, 
   Jake
