| <h3>Pseudo Root File System<a class="headerlink" href="#pseudo-root-file-system" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h3> |
| <p>NuttX includes an optional, scalable file system. As a minimum, this may |
| be a simple in-memory, pseudo file system. This is an in-memory file |
| system because it does not require any storage medium or block driver |
| support. Rather, file system contents are generated on-the-fly as |
| referenced via standard file system operations (open, close, read, |
| write, etc.). In this sense, the file system is a pseudo file system |
| (in the same sense that the Linux <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/proc</span></code> file system is also referred |
| to as a pseudo file system).</p> |
| <p>Any user supplied data or logic can be accessed via the pseudo-file |
| system. Built in support is provided for character, block, and MTD |
| (Memory Technology Device) drivers in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/dev</span></code> pseudo file system |
| directory.</p> |
| </section> |
| <section id="special-files"> |
| <h3>Special Files<a class="headerlink" href="#special-files" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h3> |
| <p>NuttX does not support special files in the way that, say, |
| Linux does. In fact, it is more correct to say that NuttX |
| file systems do not support special files at all.</p> |
| <p>NuttX does, however, support Linux-like special <cite>device node</cite>, |
| character driver, and block driver files (as well as NuttX-specific |
| mountpoint, named semaphore, message queue, and shared memory |
| special files). However, these are not special files in sense |
| that the term special files is used in a POSIX environment: In |
| NuttX these special files may <cite>only</cite> be created in the root |
| pseudo-file system. For the case of device nodes, see <a class="reference external" href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NUTTX/Device+Nodes">Device |
| Nodes</a> |
| for further information.</p> |
| <p>In NuttX, the underlying principle is that all <cite>named resources</cite> |
| appear as special files in the root pseudo-file system and are |
| managed by the VFS.</p> |
| </section> |
| <section id="mounted-volumes"> |
| <h3>Mounted Volumes<a class="headerlink" href="#mounted-volumes" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h3> |
| <p>The simple in-memory file system can be extended by mounting block |
| devices that provide access to true file systems backed up via |
| some mass storage device. NuttX supports the standard mount() |
| command that allows a block driver to be bound to a mount point |
| within the pseudo file system and to a file system. At present, |
| NuttX supports the standard VFAT and ROMFS file systems, a |
| special, wear-levelling NuttX FLASH File System (NXFFS), as well |
| as a Network File System client (NFS version 3, UDP).</p> |
| </section> |
| <section id="comparison-to-linux"> |
| <h3>Comparison to Linux<a class="headerlink" href="#comparison-to-linux" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h3> |
| <p>From a programming perspective, the NuttX file system appears |
| very similar to a Linux file system. However, there is a |
| fundamental difference: The NuttX root file system is a pseudo |
| file system and true file systems may be mounted in the pseudo |
| file system. In the typical Linux installation by comparison, |
| the Linux root file system is a true file system and pseudo |
| file systems may be mounted in the true, root file system. |
| The approach selected by NuttX is intended to support greater |
| scalability from the very tiny platform to the moderate platform.</p> |

| <h2>FAQ<a class="headerlink" href="#faq" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h2> |
| <p><strong>Question</strong>: I’m wondering why I can’t create a directory. If |
| I try to create a dir.</p> |
| <div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>mkdir<span class="w"> </span>/mnt |
| </pre></div> |
| </div> |
| <p>I get this,</p> |
| <div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>nsh:<span class="w"> </span>mkdir:<span class="w"> </span>mkdir<span class="w"> </span>failed:<span class="w"> </span><span class="m">2</span> |
| </pre></div> |
| </div> |
| <p>although if I do this it creates both directories, mnt and sda</p> |
| <div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>mount<span class="w"> </span>-t<span class="w"> </span>vfat<span class="w"> </span>/dev/mmcsd0<span class="w"> </span>/mnt/sda |
| </pre></div> |
| </div> |
| <p><strong>Answer</strong>: This is because the top level directories are part of a |
| <cite>pseudo-filesystem</cite> – like the Linux <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">proc/</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys/</span></code> file systems. |
| But the NuttX pseudo-file system begins at the top level <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/</span></code>.</p> |
| <p>What that really means is that you do must have |
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CONFIG_DISABLE_PSEUDOFS_OPERATIONS</span></code> selected. Because you |
| can normally create directories in the pseudo-filesystem |
| with not problem:</p> |
| <div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>NuttShell<span class="w"> </span><span class="o">(</span>NSH<span class="o">)</span><span class="w"> </span>NuttX-9.0.0 |
| nsh><span class="w"> </span>mkdir<span class="w"> </span>/mnt |
| nsh><span class="w"> </span>ls |
| /: |
| dev/ |
| etc/ |
| mnt/ |
| proc/ |
| tmp/ |
| nsh><span class="w"> </span>ls<span class="w"> </span>mnt |
| /mnt: |
| nsh> |
| </pre></div> |
| </div> |
| <p>But lets assume that you do have operations on the pseudo-file |
| system disabled. Why doesn’t it work? There is no <cite>real</cite> media |
| there so you cannot create a file there or create any directories |
| there. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mount</span></code> command is special, it knows how to create mount |
| points in the pseudo-file system.</p> |
| <p>The pseudo-file system is just a tree structure in RAM. |
| It serves two purposes: (1) you don’t have to have a real |
| file system to use NuttX. |
| It comes up out-of-the-box with usable (but limited) |
| pseudo-file system. That allows a little more civilized |
| programming environment on even very resource limited MCUs. |
| And (2) this pseudo-file system is a place where all special |
| NuttX files are retained: Character drivers, block drivers, |
| and mount points.</p> |
| <p>The NuttX top-level pseudo-filesystem creates the <cite>illusion</cite> of |
| directories and provides a consistent, seamless semantic for |
| interacting with mounted file systems. If there is a file |
| called <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">hello.txt</span></code> in your volume mounted at <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/mnt/sda</span></code>, then:</p> |
| <p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/mnt</span></code> - is a <cite>node</cite> in the pseudo-filesystem that does |
| nothing but contain the name mnt and provide links |
| to things <cite>under</cite> <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mnt</span></code>.</p> |
| <p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/mnt/sda</span></code> - This refers to a node that contains the name |
| sda that can be found <cite>under</cite> the node with the name mnt. |
| This node is a special <cite>mountpoint node</cite> in the pseudo-filesystem. |
| It contains the methods needed to interact will real file system. |
| Everything <cite>below</cite> <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/mnt/sda</span></code> is in the physical media.</p> |
| <p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/mnt/sda/hello.txt</span></code> - This, then refers to the file |
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">hello.txt</span></code> at the relative path <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">hello.txt</span></code> on the mounted media. |
| The transition from the pseudo-filesystem to the |
| real media is seamless.</p> |
| <p>This is a little different from Linux: Linux always |
| has to boot up with a <cite>real</cite> file system – even if it |
| is only a initrd RAM disk. |
| In Linux, these special files (links, drivers, pipes, |
| etc.) reside on real media and can reside in any |
| Linux-compatible filesystem.</p> |
| <p>Normal <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mkdir</span></code> can only work if there is a <cite>real</cite> filesystem |
| at the location. There are no real directories in the |
| pseudo-filesystem. The pseudo-filesystem does support |
| <cite>nodes</cite> that look like directories and have some of the |
| properties of directories (like the node <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/mnt</span></code> mentioned |
| above). But this is really an illusion.</p> |
| <p>If <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CONFIG_DISABLE_PSEUDOFS_OPERATIONS</span></code> is not enabled, |
| then NuttX adds the capability to create new, empty <cite>nodes</cite> |
| in the pseudo-filesystem using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mkdir</span></code>, completing the illusion.</p> |
| <p>[On the other hand, all directories are really an |
| <cite>illusion</cite> in a way and I suppose that in that sense |
| these nodes the pseudo-filesystem are just as <cite>real</cite> |
| as any other directory.]</p> |
| <p>After you mount the SD card at <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/mnt/sda</span></code>, then you can do:</p> |
| <div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>mkdir<span class="w"> </span>/mnt/sda/newdir |
| </pre></div> |
| </div> |
| <p>That should work fine and should create a directory at |
| the relative path <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">newdir</span></code> in the mounted volume.</p> |
| <p>There are a few other special NSH commands like mount that |
| can change the pseudo-filesystem. Like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">losetup</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mkfifo</span></code>, |
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mkrd</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">umount</span></code>, etc. |
| In fact, these commands <cite>only</cite> work in the pseudo-filesystem. |
| Try them in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/mnt/sda</span></code>… they won’t work.</p> |
| <p>But none of the <cite>normal</cite> commands that modify files or directories |
| will work in the pseudo-filesystem: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mkdir</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mv</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rm</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rmdir</span></code>. |
| These all require real media. They will not work in the |
| pseudo-filesystem, but will work in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/mnt/sda</span></code>.</p> |
| <p>And trying to pipe to something in the pseudo-filesystem |
| will also fail. You cannot do this, for example:</p> |
| <div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>NuttShell<span class="w"> </span><span class="o">(</span>NSH<span class="o">)</span><span class="w"> </span>NuttX-6.20 |
| nsh><span class="w"> </span>cat<span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">"Hello, World!"</span><span class="w"> </span>>/hello.text |
| nsh:<span class="w"> </span>cat:<span class="w"> </span>open<span class="w"> </span>failed:<span class="w"> </span><span class="m">22</span> |
| nsh> |
