Hello,
I'm reading through the RelNotes of DU4.0D, and have a question related
to this article:
---------------
1.12 Dynamic Support for CDFS and ISO 9660 CD-ROMs
You no longer need to select the CD-ROM File System (CDFS) as a kernel option to
access information on ISO 9660 or ISO 9660 Rock Ridge CD-ROMs. Starting with
DIGITAL UNIX Version 4.0D, the CDFS is dynamically loaded and enabled whenever you
specify the -t cdfs option with the mount command.
As in previous versions of DIGITAL UNIX, you can still select the CDFS as a kernel
option. However, users may want to avoid adding the CDFS enablers to the kernel on
systems with limited system resources because doing so will increase the amount of
memory that the kernel will consume.
Either method will work, but not selecting the CDFS kernel option simply delays the
allocation of system resources until a CDFS CD-ROM is mounted.
---------------
What will hapen, if I don't compile the cdfs support into a kernel, and in
case or hard crash need to boot over network to single-user, and want to
mount local CD-ROM with installation CD(DUnix 4.0D) and want to restore
some files......? How could the kernel dynamically load the cdfs support,
if the disk is after crash?
TIA
Martin
