Subject: V7 filesystem work

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.05.9902201906360.1385-100000@g4klx.agri.ch> (raw)
Hello All
A couple of weeks ago I hacked the program v7 from the bostic_tools to
work under all sorts of different Unix versions. It worked great and
allowed me to snoop around the V7 file system images from native Linux.
Anyone who wants a copy can send me an e-mail.
Anyway I had a few hours spare today, and decided to try adding the V7
filesystem to the Linux kernel. Results so far are encouraging:
g4klx:/usr/src/linux# ls -l /mnt
total 333
drwxrwxrwx 7 root root 224 Sep 22 1988 .
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 1024 Feb 14 11:55 ..
drwxrwxr-x 2 3 3 2512 Sep 22 1988 bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 3 3 8986 Jun 8 1979 boot
drwxrwxr-x 2 3 3 160 Sep 22 1988 dev

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root daemon 50990 Jun 8 1979 rkunix
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root daemon 51982 Jun 8 1979 rl2unix
-rwxr-xr-x 1 daemon daemon 51790 Jun 8 1979 rphtunix
-rwxr-xr-x 1 daemon daemon 51274 Jun 8 1979 rptmunix
g4klx:/usr/src/linux# df
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda1 3031184 1920771 953665 67% /
/dev/loop0 1919 1877 42 98% /mnt
g4klx:/usr/src/linux#
I am using the loop block device to allow me to mount a file as a block
device, this saves me having to add a new partition to my disc. There
should be no reason why it won't work with a true disc partition. The V7
filesystem under Linux is read/write.
Anyone interested ?
Jonathan
