How do I mount a floppy disk (DOS filesystem)?
|
| Solution |
Instead of mounting, as you would with a QNX-formatted disk, you start the dos file system driver.
Dosfsys -L &
Please Note:
As of QNX 4.25 the only officially
supported
utility is "Fatfsys", and it
provides FAT32
support as well as read/write of
long names.Therefore, you can choose the driver to run accordingly.
The -L means Dosfsys will support long filenames, but only for reading as of QNX 4.25
Now the drives will show up under /dos as a, b and so on, so the first
floppy is /dos/a.
The error message "Corrupted filesystem detected" is ambiguous and could mean "Could not detect a valid QNX-filesystem", and you
get it if you try try and mount an unformatted or unititialized diskette or if it is a DOS-disk.
