[comp.os.mach] Mach 2.5 file system utility

limey@hri.com (Craig Hughes) (01/14/91)

Does anyone have a utility program that will take files from a SUN OS
file system, and place them into a Mach 2.5 file system? For example,
I envisage doing something like this:

mkfs <whatever options> filesystem1

using the Mach mkfs running under SUN OS. This will produce a file
called "filesystem1" that can be dumped into a partition, or in our
case, used as a simulated disk for our hardware simulator.

Once this is done, I want to be able to copy files from Sun OS to this
filesystem. For example:

fscopy foo /etc/foo filesystem1

This will copy the SUN OS file "foo" into filesystem1 under the filename
"/etc/foo". Obvisouly I would need a mach mkdir too.

We're going to write it ourselves if no one has done anything like this
before.

Thanks!
