We can remount that by again mounting the ext2 partition and cd to that and ...~ ~ mkdir /home/user/mountpoint vnconfig vnd0 diskimage mount /dev/vnd0c /home/user/mountpoint ~ and ls /home/user/mountpoint will show the myfile.txt file created earlier.~ ~ Fundamentally I'm thinking that FuguIta's saves (livecd-config), that currently need to be on a ffs partition, could be stored on a ext2 partition as a ffs file filesystem such that a liveCD could boot and laod/save its ram images (changes) to a ext2 hard disk drive.~ ~ A pre-prepared ffs filesystem file could be provided/downloaded so that new users with no BSD already installed/working, but perhaps Linux working, could copy that ffs file filesystem to one of their ext2 partitions/folders, boot a FuguIta CD and store their changes into that ffs file filesystem stored on their ext2 partition.~ ~ Another thought - not sure - but it might be possible to create a swap file - stored on disk and activated~ ~ dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/swap0 bs=1024k count=1024 chmod 0600 /usr/swap0 swapctl -a /usr/swap0 ~ That would help reduce the chances of FuguIta locking up if larger programs were being run and where otherwise no swap file/partition was available.~ // - The FuguIta option you explained is particularly useful for Linux users. Also for Windows users, I think that we can add similar options to FAT partitions. How can we implement these smartly? Either way, I think that it is necessary to modify the startup script (/boottmp/rc) and create a tool like usbfadm. -- [[kaw]] &new{2018-09-17 (Mon) 07:26:01}; - A problem can be if ext2/3/4 isn't shutdown correctly then BSD can't mount it in a unclean state. That can be particularly awkward with NTFS systems that have hybernated instead of shutdown. Modifications to /boottmp/rc and another usbfadm like script (hddfadm) could provide the functionality excepting the issues I mentioned earlier -- [[Rufwoof]] &new{2018-09-17 (Mon) 22:41:54}; **Opps!

ISO) | CD, CD-R, CD-RW etc burned ISO image downloaded from distribution site. ~ You can burn it to DVD but you can use it, the size is 700 MB same as CD. :USB (distrib. img)| This is a USB flashdrive into which the IMG file downloaded from the distribution site is written. ~ Regardless of the USB flashdrive size used, the capacity is fixed at 1 GB (system 700 MB + data storage area 300 MB). : USB (usbfadm) | This is a USB flashdrive created using FuguIta's usbfadm command. ~ When executing the usbfadm command, you can set the size of the data storage area. ~ You can also create FAT in free space not used by FuguIta for data exchange with other OS. :OpenBSD | OpenBSD system already installed. To use this from FuguIta, perform the following operations in advance. ~ -- a : Copy FuguIta's kernel - /sysmedia/bsd-fi and /sysmedia/bsd-fi.mp to the partition where the OpenBSD kernel resides, and by entering "bsd-fi.mp" or "bsd-fi" for boot prompt "boot>", FuguIta starts up. ~ -- b : By creating a directory called "ISO" on any partition of OpenBSD and placing the ISO image of FuguIta here, you can use it as an operational device. ~ -- c : You can save and restore data here by creating a directory called "livecd-config" on any partition of OpenBSD. ~ However, you can not do b and c at the same time on the same partition. : SD (usbfadm) | This is an SD card created using FuguIta usbfadm command. : ExtFS/NTFS/FAT | Linux ext2fs ... ext4fs and Windows NTFS, FAT partitions. ~ By creating a directory called "ISO" on these partitions and placing the FuguIta ISO image here, you can use it as an operational device. : tmpfs | File system created in memory. It is created automatically when FuguIta is started, and the contents are lost at the end. >Each line of the table is an operation form which can be selected at the time of starting up FuguIta or during operation. :boot from | FuguIta is a bootable device that loads the kernel. If there are multiple bootable devices, specify them using the BIOS boot menu. :run on | This is the device where the system file of Fugu Ita is installed and used for operation. It is mounted read-only. ~ If there are multiple available devices, specify the device at startup. :with boot mode | This is how to layout memory and operation devices during operation. The main boot modes are as follows. -- mode 0 : This is standard operation as LiveCD / LiveUSB. -- mode 1 : It is almost the same as mode 0, but it is completed in a shorter time and it operates with saving memory (about 64 MB minimum). However, pkg_add cannot be used because /usr becomes non-writable. -- mode 2 : It operates using only tmpfs. Although it takes time to complete the boot, file input/output during operation is fast. Memory requires about 800 MB, or more. -- mode 3 : Read data saved by usbfadm at boot time. :set parameters with | Usually, when starting FuguIta, it is necessary to manually input the operation device, tmpfs size, start mode, etc. However, if these parameters are described in the file "noasks", at startup this is set automatically, you can omit manual input. :save data to | As described in boot mode 3, you can save the file to the device specified by the usbfadm command. // **FuguIta 6.3 for Raspberry Pi 3 [#g280e5c6] >[[kaw]] (2018-05-31 (Thu) 16:42:17)~ ~ Although it is still a test version, it is working well on my RPi3.~ Even without a serial cable, you can install and use it by connecting from the SSH client.~ ~ [[README>http://mirror.ginzado.ne.jp/pub/FuguIta/test/0_README-6.3-arm64]] for more further details.~ // ---- Former articles are at [[FuguIta/BBS/7]]. ---- Return to [[FrontPage]]
