FreeBSD makefs(8) for Linux / *BSD

About

  • FreeBSD makefs(8) + HAMMER2 support + exFAT support

Supported platforms

  • Linux, Cygwin, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD

Requirements

  • C compiler

  • libuuid.so and <uuid/uuid.h> on Linux (unless HAMMER2 support is disabled on build)

Supported file systems

file system -t option name original implementation
UFS ffs (default) FreeBSD makefs(8)
FAT msdos FreeBSD makefs(8)
ISO9660 cd9660 FreeBSD makefs(8)
Version 7 Unix file system v7fs NetBSD makefs(8)
HAMMER2 hammer2 DragonFly BSD makefs(8)
exFAT exfat https://github.com/relan/exfat

Build

  • By default all supported file systems above are enabled. Use gmake(1) on *BSD.

      $ cd makefs
      $ make
    
  • Specify USE_HAMMER2=0 to disable HAMMER2 support.

      $ cd makefs
      $ make USE_HAMMER2=0
    
  • Specify USE_EXFAT=0 to disable exFAT support.

      $ cd makefs
      $ make USE_EXFAT=0
    

Install (optional)

    $ cd makefs
    $ make && make install

Uninstall (optional)

    $ cd makefs
    $ make uninstall

Usage examples

  • 4.4BSD FFS

      $ ./src/makefs -t ffs /path/to/img /path/to/directory
    
  • FreeBSD UFS2

      $ ./src/makefs -t ffs -o version=2 /path/to/img /path/to/directory
    
  • ISO9660

      $ ./src/makefs -t cd9660 /path/to/img /path/to/directory
    
  • HAMMER2

      $ ./src/makefs -t hammer2 /path/to/img /path/to/directory
    
  • FAT12/16/32 (file size required)

      $ ./src/makefs -t msdos -s 1g /path/to/img /path/to/directory
    
  • exFAT (file size required)

      $ ./src/makefs -t exfat -s 1g /path/to/img /path/to/directory
    

Notes

  • Build confirmed on Fedora, Ubuntu, Cygwin, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD on x86_64.

  • Due to lack of UFS standard among vendors, use an appropriate "-o ufstype=..." mount option to mount UFS on Linux.

    • Use "-o ufstype=44bsd" (4.4BSD) for an image created with "-o version=1" or the default.

    • Use "-o ufstype=ufs2" (FreeBSD UFS2) for an image created with "-o version=2".

  • ZFS support which exists in recent FreeBSD makefs(8) is unsupported.

Bugs

  • mtree(5) related options are currently unsupported.

    • -F option, -N option, and mtree file input will fail with an error message.
  • v7fs support compiles, but "-t v7fs" option is broken.

    • "-t v7fs" option is broken on NetBSD makefs(8) as well.
