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.


Note: 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.
