The first thing you need to determine is which hardware you have controlling the disk interface. We support a number of interfaces, including various flavors of SCSI controllers and the EIDE controller. For details on the supported interface controllers, see the various devb-* entries in the Utilities Reference.
The only action required in your buildfile is to start the driver (e.g. devb-aha7). The driver will then dynamically load the appropriate modules (in this order):
The CAM .so files are documented under cam-* in the Utilities Reference. Currently, we support CD-ROMs (cam-cdrom.so), hard disks (cam-disk.so), and optical disks (cam-optical.so).
The io-blk.so module is responsible for dealing with a disk on a block-by-block basis. It includes caching support.
The fs-* modules are responsible for providing the high-level knowledge about how a particular filesystem is structured. We currently support the following:
Filesystem | Module |
---|---|
MS-DOS | fs-dos.so |
Linux | fs-ext2.so |
Macintosh HFS and HFS Plus | fs-mac.so |
Windows NT | fs-nt.so |
QNX 4 | fs-qnx4.so |
Power-Safe | fs-qnx6.so |
ISO-9660 CD-ROM, Universal Disk Format (UDF) | fs-udf.so |
