mount_chfs
—
mount a CHFS flash file system
Mounts a flash file system from a
flash(4) device. CHFS file
systems can be only mounted from flash devices. For regular block devices like
SSD drives or USB drives, please use a regular file system. The file system
will be created during the first mount. CHFS stands for Chip File System.
mount_chfs /dev/flash0
/mnt
A mount_chfs
utility appeared in NetBSD
6.0. CHFS was originally called ChewieFS during development. The name
was changed to avoid legal issues and to have a more neutral name.
CHFS was developed at the Department of Software Engineering,
University of Szeged, Hungary.
CHFS has a few known bugs as of 2011. Writing the FS full can cause problems.
Truncating a file and growing it again can cause the new bytes not having all
zeroes, but filled with the old content instead.
