--VUDLurXRWRKrGuMn Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi. I just committed a very simple piece of code demonstrating a bit where I want to go to with the installer. Some basic functionalities are missing, and one of those is a mount(2) interface. I intend to provide that functionality with a class representing a /etc/fstab file. The class will be able to read and write to this file, mount(2) and possibly newfs(8) the filesystems listed in there. There are probably major design errors in there, and I think the code is not that good right now, but it works, and that's all that counts right now. I needed a prototype to see where I was going and to show it around. It would be interesting to extend getfsent(3) into functions that would write to fstab too. I don't know if it would be appropriate to write those functions in C and backport them to the base, but I think it's worth a shot. sysinstallNG needs to write to /etc/fstab at any rate. Comments?
