Hi, I have the Total5200. I made a Image and add the binary mkdir. Then I
download it to the Total5200 and burn the Image into the flash. When I
tried to make a new directory with mkdir than one of two error occurs.

1. mkdir: test: No such device or address

or

2. mkdir: /test: Function not implemented

Do I need another binary or library besides the mkdir?

thx

I am having this problem as well.
When I first bring up Neutrino on the Lite5200, there IS a file
system.

# ls
bin dev lib proc tmp usr
#

I assume this is in a RAM disk. My intention is to put a file system
on the IDE disk that is attached.
To do that, I need to mount the device.
To do that I need to make a mount target.
Under Linux, I would say something like:

mkdir /mnt
mkdir /mnt/disk0

mount /dev/hd0 /mnt/disk0

(Or some variation of that)

My problem is that mkdir doesn't work (for the same reason as the
above posting)

# mkdir /mnt
mkdir: /mnt: Function not implemented

I thought it was because I didn't have write privileges to the
directory in which I try to make the new directory.
So I reasoned, "put the target directory under the usr
directory". So I tried:

# chmod a+rw usr
chmod: changing permission of usr : No such file or directory
#

I'm sure I am missing something here. Anyone KNOW how to get started
putting an IDE filesystem on Neutrino?

Colin:

Thanks very much for posting something to my thread. I am having a great
deal of trouble untangling the documentation for exactly how one gets a
file system going on a BSP generated image of QNX Neutrino.



I have successfully booted the image I built for a Lite5200B eval board
from Freescale.

I have connected a hard disk that I populated from the quick-start CD
for an x86 system, and I can boot the drive on my x86 system.

I’d like to just mount the device and read it before I try the exercise
of actually building a second partition on that same disk. My objective
is to ultimately boot from that second partition or start over from
scratch with a new disk. But first, I’d like to must mount an existing
partition, just to see if the file system works.



Here is a log of my commands:





# mount -t qnx4 /dev/hd0t79 /mnt/fs

mount: Can't mount /mnt/fs (type qnx4)

mount: Possible reason: Corrupted file system detected



Can this be because the partition was created on a little-Endian system
and the Lite5200B is a big-endian?

# ls

bin dev lib proc tmp usr



It is interesting that subsequently, I get different reasons for failure
of this mount:



# mount -v -t qnx4 /dev/hd0t79 /mnt/fs

Parsed: mount from [/dev/hd0t79] mount on [/mnt/fs] type [qnx4]

mount: Can't mount /mnt/fs (type qnx4)

mount: Possible reason: No such device or address

# mount -t qnx4 /dev/hd0t79 /mnt/fs

mount: Can't mount /mnt/fs (type qnx4)

mount: Possible reason: Invalid argument

#



If I reboot the image, the FIRST time I try to mount, I get the same
corrupted file system message.



#mount –e



Responds by saying nothing, no matter what mount I try. So I am certain
nothing is mounted.



When I say



# mount -v -t qnx4 /dev/hd0t79 /mnt/fs



How is that going to work if there is no directory /mnt/fs and I can’t
create one by using mkdir?



OK. So let’s say I don’t want to mount an existing file system (since
that isn’t working for me anyway). How do I create a new one on my hard
disk? I’d like it to be a second partition and NOT disturb the first
partition I’ve already created on it.

I want to install a share on a Windows Exchange Server domain. I have
done this with Samba and an x86 based QNX platform with no problem
using a simple smb.conf file that says:

security = share
workgroup = QNX
etc.,...

and that worked like a charm, but I can't quite figure out how to
duplicate that with fs-cifs

I sincerely wish I knew why, but I am now able to mount hard disk
partitions

mount -t qnx4 /dev/hd0t79 /mnt/fs
