Hi Vansh,

Currently, FAT is the only supported file-system on Mirage/Xen:

  https://github.com/mirage/ocaml-fat

If your needs are simpler then you could also implement your own
scheme. The file queue example you linked just stores the files
sequentially on the disk, which is fine for a queue.

If you want to help build something better (e.g. to support Irmin),
the ocaml-btree project is under development:
