| |
Hi guys,
I wonder if anyone knows how this is done? I noticed that using mount -t with a VFS driver automatically loads the appropriate module/driver within the kernel, for example, on my system the modules msdos.o, fat.o are automatically loaded when I type in mount -t msdos /floppy.
I am currently writing a module that needs to load as a filesystem driver, and I was wondering how I can get that to autoload when someone does something like mount -t carddrive /dev/mnt.
What I am trying to accomplish is getting my old Atari Portfolio's memory card to be read/written via my card drive adapter that connects to a card within my PC. That would enable me to transfer data to/from my PC via the memory cards to my very old Portfolio.
Of course, I can just use the Portfolio as a terminal, but this is quite interesting =)
