Filesystems are a pain. I had to write on in school, and in the 3 weeks I worked on it (starting with a very bare but workable version) never got some of the features working quite right. If you're still trying to support other OSs, you should try supporting one of their file systems, like either FAT32 or ext2, or look at the documentation for one of those and try to get it working. I wouldn't immediately try to implement something very complicated like NTFS or ReiserFS or any of the abundant other feature-rich filesystems.
