Crossmeta file system

Support for file systems Crossmeta has impressive support for following file systems. Pseudo character devices Crossmeta provides character devices such as zero Can be used as source of endless zero null Can be used as output sink to discard data loop a pseudo device that makes ordinary file accessible as a block device The windows volume devices appear as BSD style disks da0, da0s Other ordinary flat file images can be used as disk with loop pseud-device support and losetup command.

With this file system the registry keys appear as directories and the registry values appear as files with binary data. Unknown names are mapped to nobody. Summary Crossmeta provides practical POSIX environment in Windows Environment that is easy to install and use and is available in very small memory footprint.

In both cases, file system requests from the kernel are passed to the main program using callbacks. When using the high-level API, the callbacks may work with file names and paths instead of inodes, and processing of a request finishes when the callback function returns. When using the low-level API, the callbacks must work with inodes and responses must be sent explicitly using a separate set of API functions.

FUSE then contacts the registered handler program. The handler program returns a response back to FUSE as LPC reply which is then redirected to the userspace program that originally made the request. Readonly access to NT Registry hive. With this file system the registry keys appear as directories and the registry values appear as files with binary data. Crossmeta provides the standard klog device for viewing the kernel informational or debug messages from Crossmeta. To retrieve kernel state and allows processes with appropriate privilege to set kernel state.
