Boot File System
Template:Short description Template:Infobox filesystem
The Boot File System (named BFS on Linux, but BFS also refers to the Be File System) was used on UnixWare to store files necessary to its boot process.[1]
It does not support directories, and only allows contiguous allocation for files, to make it simpler to be used by the boot loader.
Implementations
Besides the UnixWare support, Martin Hinner wrote a bfs kernel module for Linux that supports it.[2]
He documented the file system layout as part of the process.[3]
The Linux kernel implementation of BFS was written by Tigran Aivazian and it became part of the standard kernel sources on 28 October 1999 (Linux version 2.3.25).[4]
The original BFS was written at AT&T Bell Laboratories for the UNIX System V, Version 4.0 porting base in 1986.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". It was written by Ron Schnell, who is also the author of Dunnet (game).Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
BFS was the first non-S5Script error: No such module "Unsubst". (System V) Filesystem written using VFS (Virtual Filesystem) for AT&T UNIX.
