Efsys.pcmcia
Generic embedded filesystem driver options
Syntax:
Efsys.pcmcia [-d device_number]
[-i] [-v]
[-m mountpoint] ...
Options:
- -d device_number
- Create raw devices starting from /dev/sktdevice_number. For example, if you specify -d 10 or -d10, the first PCMCIA socket is called /dev/skt10 and its mountpoint is /efs10pY.
- -i
- Ignore CIS information
- -m mountpoint
- The mountpoint for the embedded filesystem (EFS) partitions
- -v
- Be verbose; display a message if an error occurs.
Description:
The Efsys.pcmcia driver supports hot swapping. All access to PCMCIA cards is handled by Pcmcia.generic (see the QNX Utilities reference), so Efsys.pcmcia can interoperate with other PCMCIA drivers.

Efsys.pcmcia can be started only if the Pcmcia.generic server is already running. |
Efsys.pcmcia uses the following default filenames:
- /dev/skt1
- raw device special file for EFS socket 1
- /dev/skt2
- raw device special file for EFS socket 2
- /dev/sktXimgY
- raw device special file for each image partition on each EFS, where X is the logical socket, and Y is a unique partition number
- /efsXpY
- embedded filesystem mountpoint for each EFS partition on each EFS, where X is the logical socket, and Y is a unique partition number
To change the raw device names, use the -d option. To change the mountpoints of the EFS partitions, use the -m option. You can specify multiple -m options.
