[Barrelfish-users] netd and howto get files into BF/Qemu

[Georgios Varisteas]

Received just as I was writing exactly the same. I guess I could call vfs_create() on the file I want to open. That would be ok, right?

Hi Simon,

AFAIK it's in the public tree, but it doesn't seem to work (maybe it doesn't actually link the library) unless you explicitly call something else in the VFS library, which rather defeats the purpose of automatically calling vfs_init(): if you call vfs_init() manually it breaks, because it is called twice, but if you don't call vfs_init(), fopen() etc. doesn't work.

Last time I encountered this problem, I added a call to vfs_remove("non-existent-file"), but that's hardly a clean solution!

Hi Georgios,

It essentially boils down to you calling vfs_init() before you use any
file-related functionality. My version of the tree does this
automatically, by declaring vfs_init() to be a GCC constructor, but that
might not yet be in the public tree.

Hope this helps,
Simon

I thought of adding them to the skb archive but I was afraid that it could mess other stuff up. Ideally GRUB would do that, like with binaries, but I do not know how...
