NAME

bootfs — boot-time module file system

DESCRIPTION

The bootfs file system is a read-only file system that provides access to any boot-time modules that were passed in to the system loader which were tagged with the type file. bootfs does not display any boot-time modules that were tagged as type hash or type rootfs. If modules with duplicate names and paths are specified, only the first such entry will be present in the file system and a counter will be incremented to indicate that a duplicate entry was found, but is not present into the file system. If a module's name only consists of invalid characters, such as ‘’., ‘..’, or ‘/’, then the module will not be present in the file system and a counter will be incremented to indicate that this has occurred. In both cases, diagnostic information is available through the kstats facility.

EXAMPLES

Example 1 Determining if collisions or invalid names are present

To determine if any boot-time modules were not created due to collisions or invalid names, enter the following command:

# kstat -m bootfs
module: bootfs                          instance: 1
name:   bootfs                          class:    fs
        crtime                          236063.651324041
        nbytes                          8749355
        ndirs                           3
        ndiscard                        0
        ndup                            0
        nfiles                          2
