NAME
mount_chfs - mount a CHFS flash file system
SYNOPSIS
mount_chfs
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.
This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot time.
The options are as follows:
-o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma-
separated string of options. See the mount(8) man page for
possible options and their meanings.
EXAMPLES
mount_chfs /dev/flash0 /mnt
SEE ALSO
flash(4), fstab(5), mount(8), flash(9)
HISTORY
A mount_chfs utility appeared in NetBSD 6.0. 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.
