NAME
msdos —
MS-DOS file system
SYNOPSIS
/dev/ad0sN /dos msdos rw 0 0
To link into the kernel:
options MSDOSFS
To load as a kernel loadable module:
kldload msdosDESCRIPTION
Themsdos driver will permit the
DragonFly kernel to read and write MS-DOS based file
systems.
The most common usage follows:
mount_msdos /dev/ad0sN
/mntwhere N is the partition number and
/mnt is a mount point. Some users tend to create a
/dos directory for msdos
mount points. This helps to keep better track of the file system, and make
it more easily accessible.
It is possible to define an entry in /etc/fstab that looks similar to:
/dev/ad0sN /dos msdos rw 0 0
This will mount an MS-DOS based partition at the /dos mount point during system boot. Using /mnt as a permanent mount point is not advised as its intention has always been to be a temporary mount point for floppy and ZIP disks. See hier(7) for more information on DragonFly directory layout.
