vfs_extfs example

This example shows how to embed a new file system into the virtual file system (VFS) that is provided in KasperskyOS Community Edition.

In this example, the Client program tests the operation of file systems (ext2, ext3, ext4) on block devices. To do so, the Client queries the virtual file system (the FileVfs program) via IPC, and FileVfs in turn queries the block device via IPC.

The ext2 and ext3 file systems work with the default settings. The ext4 file system works if you disable extent (mkfs.ext4 -O ^64bit,^extent /dev/foo).

Preparing an SD card to run on Raspberry Pi 4 B
