MOUNT_CHFS(8) |
NAME
mount_chfs — mount a CHFS flash file system
DESCRIPTION
Mounts a flash file system from a
flash(4) device. CHFS file systems can be only mounted from flash devices. For regular block devices like SSD drives or USB drives, please use a regular file system. The file system will be created during the first mount. CHFS stands for Chip File System.
EXAMPLES
mount_chfs /dev/flash0 /mnt
HISTORY
CHFS was originally called ChewieFS during development. The name was changed to avoid legal issues and to have a more neutral name.
AUTHORS
CHFS was developed at the Department of Software Engineering, University of Szeged, Hungary.
BUGS
CHFS has a few known bugs as of 2011. Writing the FS full can cause problems. Truncating a file and growing it again can cause the new bytes not having all zeroes, but filled with the old content instead.
