# BMFS
|
|
|
|
Utility for accessing a disk or disk image formatted with BareMetal File System (BMFS).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Creating a new, formatted disk image
|
|
|
|
bmfs disk.image initialize 128M
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Creating a new disk image that boots BareMetal OS
|
|
|
|
bmfs disk.image initialize 128M path/to/bmfs_mbr.sys path/to/pure64.sys path/to/kernel64.sys
|
|
|
|
or if the Pure64 boot loader and BareMetal-OS kernel are combined into one file:
|
|
|
|
bmfs disk.image initialize 128M path/to/bmfs_mbr.sys path/to/software.sys
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Formatting a disk image
|
|
|
|
bmfs disk.image format
|
|
|
|
In Linux/Unix/Mac OS X you can also format a physical drive by passing the correct path.
|
|
|
|
sudo bmfs /dev/sdc format
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Display BMFS disk contents
|
|
|
|
bmfs disk.image list
|
|
|
|
Sample output:
|
|
|
|
C:\baremetal>utils\bmfs BMFS-256-flat.vmdk list
|
|
BMFS-256-flat.vmdk
|
|
Disk Size: 256 MiB
|
|
Name | Size (B)| Reserved (MiB)

## Create a new file and reserve space for it
|
|
|

bmfs disk.image create FileName.Ext
|

Alternately, you can specify the reserved size after the file name. The reserved size is given in Megabytes and will automatically round up to an even number.

|
|
|
bmfs disk.image read FileName.Ext
|
|

|
|
|
## Write a local file to BMFS
|
|
|
|
bmfs disk.image write FileName.Ext
|
|
|
