Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/* Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult, the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated. Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users. Signed-off-by: Justin P.

WHAT IS THIS DRIVER?
|
|
==================
|
|
This module implements the native filesystem of BeOS http://www.beincorporated.com/
|
|
for the linux 2.4.1 and later kernels. Currently it is a read-only
|
|
implementation.
|
|
|
|
Which is it, BFS or BEFS?
|
|
================
|
|
Be, Inc said, "BeOS Filesystem is officially called BFS, not BeFS".
|
|
But Unixware Boot Filesystem is called bfs, too. And they are already in
|
|
the kernel. Because of this naming conflict, on Linux the BeOS
|
|
filesystem is called befs.
|
|
|
|
HOW TO INSTALL
|
|
==============
|
|
step 1. Install the BeFS patch into the source code tree of linux.
|
|
|
|
Apply the patchfile to your kernel source tree.
|
|
Assuming that your kernel source is in /foo/bar/linux and the patchfile
|
|
is called patch-befs-xxx, you would do the following:
|
|
|
|
cd /foo/bar/linux
|
|
patch -p1 < /path/to/patch-befs-xxx
|
|
|
|
if the patching step fails (i.e. there are rejected hunks), you can try to
|
|
figure it out yourself (it shouldn't be hard), or mail the maintainer
|
|
(Will Dyson <will_dyson@pobox.com>) for help.
|
|
|
|
step 2. Configuration & make kernel
|
|
|
|
The linux kernel has many compile-time options. Most of them are beyond the
|
|
scope of this document. I suggest the Kernel-HOWTO document as a good general
|
|
reference on this topic. http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Kernel-HOWTO-4.html
|
|
|
|
However, to use the BeFS module, you must enable it at configure time.
|
|
|
|
cd /foo/bar/linux
|
|
make menuconfig (or xconfig)
|
|
|
|
The BeFS module is not a standard part of the linux kernel, so you must first
|
|
enable support for experimental code under the "Code maturity level" menu.
|
|
|
|
Then, under the "Filesystems" menu will be an option called "BeFS
|
|
filesystem (experimental)", or something like that. Enable that option
|
|
(it is fine to make it a module).
|
|
|
|
Save your kernel configuration and then build your kernel.
|
|
|
|
step 3. Install
|
|
|
|
See the kernel howto <http://www.linux.com/howto/Kernel-HOWTO.html> for
|
|
instructions on this critical step.
|
|
|
|
USING BFS
|
|
=========
|
|
To use the BeOS filesystem, use filesystem type 'befs'.
|
|
|
|
ex)
|
|
mount -t befs /dev/fd0 /beos
|
|
|
|
MOUNT OPTIONS
|
|
=============
|
|
uid=nnn All files in the partition will be owned by user id nnn.
|
|
gid=nnn All files in the partition will be in group nnn.
|
|
iocharset=xxx Use xxx as the name of the NLS translation table.
|
|
debug The driver will output debugging information to the syslog.
|
|
|
