Hi, I have the Total5200. I made a Image and add the binary mkdir. Then I
download it to the Total5200 and burn the Image into the flash. When I
tried to make a new directory with mkdir than one of two error occurs.
or
Do I need another binary or library besides the mkdir?
thx
Daniel
See my response in the previous thread. “mkdir” will only work if you have
writeable media, such as flash filesystem, a hard disk or RAM disk.

I am having this problem as well.
When I first bring up Neutrino on the Lite5200, there IS a file
system.
bin dev lib proc tmp usr
I assume this is in a RAM disk. My intention is to put a file system
on the IDE disk that is attached.
To do that, I need to mount the device.
To do that I need to make a mount target.
Under Linux, I would say something like:
mkdir /mnt
mkdir /mnt/disk0
mount /dev/hd0 /mnt/disk0
(Or some variation of that)
My problem is that mkdir doesn’t work (for the same reason as the
above posting)
mkdir: /mnt: Function not implemented
I thought it was because I didn’t have write privileges to the
directory in which I try to make the new directory.
So I reasoned, “put the target directory under the usr
directory”. So I tried:
chmod: changing permission of usr : No such file or directory
I’m sure I am missing something here. Anyone KNOW how to get started
putting an IDE filesystem on Neutrino?
You don’t need to do the initial mknod/mkdir under QNX.
Just run the IDE driver (devb-eide) and then mount the devices, eg
mount -p /dev/hd0 # mount the partitions
mount /dev/hd0t77 /mnt/disk0
check the docs for devb-eide and mount, and also fs-qnx4.so and fs-ext2.so
Cheers,
Colin

Sort of; these directories are part of the Image FileSystem (IFS),
which sits in RAM, but is read-only. If you try to write to /, as
you are doing below, you’re trying to write to a read-only filesystem.
If you have a hard drive attached to the IDE interface, you need to
ensure that the eide device driver is running. If you execute the ‘pidin’
command, you should see ‘devb-eide-mpc5200’ in the list of running
drivers.
Under the /dev/ directory, you should see your hard drive:
/dev/hd0
as well as any partitions on the drive; for QNX partitions, they
might appear as:
/dev/hd0t77
/dev/hd0t78
or
/dev/hd0t79
Windows / FAT32 partitions may appear as:
/dev/hd0t11
Before accessing a partition, you need to mount it. For example, to
mount a QNX partition:
mount -t qnx4 /dev/hd0t77 /disk0
now you can cd to /disk0, and see the contents of the drive, write
files, etc.

QNX isn’t Linux 
. For more information, you can read about QNX device drivers,
the ‘mount’ command, etc., in the on-line documentation:
http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.3.2/momentics/bookset.html
mkdir /mnt
mkdir /mnt/disk0mount /dev/hd0 /mnt/disk0

Hi,
Under QNX, there’s no need to mkdir for a mount point. You can directly
run
mount /dev/hd0 /mnt/disk0
without any mkdir.
Best regards

Colin:Thanks very much for posting something to my thread. I am having a great
deal of trouble untangling the documentation for exactly how one gets a
file system going on a BSP generated image of QNX Neutrino.
I have successfully booted the image I built for a Lite5200B eval board
from Freescale.I have connected a hard disk that I populated from the quick-start CD
for an x86 system, and I can boot the drive on my x86 system.I’d like to just mount the device and read it before I try the exercise
of actually building a second partition on that same disk. My objective
is to ultimately boot from that second partition or start over from
scratch with a new disk. But first, I’d like to must mount an existing
partition, just to see if the file system works.
Here is a log of my commands:
\mount -t qnx4 /dev/hd0t79 /mnt/fs
mount: Can’t mount /mnt/fs (type qnx4)
mount: Possible reason: Corrupted file system detected
Can this be because the partition was created on a little-Endian system
and the Lite5200B is a big-endian?
I’m pretty sure that the filesystem is always stored on disk as little endian - fsys gurus can comment?
If you want to try making new partition, use fdisk to create one and then use dinit -h /dev/hd0t78 or
whatever you named it to initialize the partition. Then mount it with a similar command above.
ls
bin dev lib proc tmp usr
It is interesting that subsequently, I get different reasons for failure
of this mount:
\mount -v -t qnx4 /dev/hd0t79 /mnt/fs
Parsed: mount from [/dev/hd0t79] mount on [/mnt/fs] type [qnx4]
mount: Can’t mount /mnt/fs (type qnx4)
mount: Possible reason: No such device or address
mount -t qnx4 /dev/hd0t79 /mnt/fs
mount: Can’t mount /mnt/fs (type qnx4)
mount: Possible reason: Invalid argument
If I reboot the image, the FIRST time I try to mount, I get the same
corrupted file system message.
#mount –e
Responds by saying nothing, no matter what mount I try. So I am certain
nothing is mounted.
When I say
\mount -v -t qnx4 /dev/hd0t79 /mnt/fs
How is that going to work if there is no directory /mnt/fs and I can’t
create one by using mkdir?
OK. So let’s say I don’t want to mount an existing file system (since
that isn’t working for me anyway). How do I create a new one on my hard
disk? I’d like it to be a second partition and NOT disturb the first
partition I’ve already created on it.

I sincerely wish I knew why, but I am now able to mount hard disk
partitions
mount -t qnx4 /dev/hd0t79 /mnt/fs
works fine. I know I loaded several additional resources into the
image (more from a trial and error sense than any guided effort) and
something must have made the difference, because the spelling here
and in my earlier post was exactly the same.
Next challenge: Anyone out there have any hands-on experience with
fs-cifs?
I want to install a share on a Windows Exchange Server domain. I have
done this with Samba and an x86 based QNX platform with no problem
using a simple smb.conf file that says:
security = share
workgroup = QNX
etc.,…
and that worked like a charm, but I can’t quite figure out how to
duplicate that with fs-cifs
Thanks - Frank

fs-cifs is a client for mounting a share from a server. If you want to
have a QNX node offer an SMB share then you’d need to run samba on it.
(I think some have gone to the effort of porting samba to QNX.)

Do you have a waitfor /dev/hd0 and maybe a wait for /dev/hd0t79/.
It could possibly be a timing issue.
