UFFS in userspace using fuse¶

Mount an existing volume¶

The basic is:

$ uffs [target] [mountpoint]

where [target] can be a file, a block device, or an UBI volume.

For example, to mount /dev/sda1 as /mnt/test:

$ uffs /dev/sda1 /mnt/test

To allow other users to use the mount point, do:

$ uffs -o allow_other /dev/sda1 /mnt/test

Umount¶

As root:

# umount /mnt/test

Format a device¶

First, the device must be formatted as an EBM volume:

$ mkebm /dev/sda1

Then you have to format it as an UFFS volume:

$ mkfs.uffs /dev/sda1

Troubleshooting

If you have rights permission issues, check the rights on /dev/fuse.

$ ls -l /dev/fuse
