usrAtaConfig( )

NAME

usrAtaConfig( ) - mount a DOS file system from an ATA hard disk or a CDROM

SYNOPSIS

STATUS usrAtaConfig
    (
    int    ctrl,              /* 0: primary address, 1: secondary address */
    int    drive,             /* drive number of hard disk (0 or 1) */
    char * devNames           /* mount points for each partition */
    )

DESCRIPTION

file system from an ATAPI CDROM drive

This routine mounts a DOS file system from an ATA hard disk. Parameters:

drive

the drive number of the hard disk; 0 is C: and 1 is D:.

devName

the mount point for all partitions which are expected to be present on the disk, separated with commas, for example "/ata0,/ata1" or "C:,D:". Blanks are not allowed in this string. If the drive is an ATAPI CDROM drive, then the CDROM filesystem is specified by appending "(cdrom)" after the mount point name. For example, a CDROM drive could be specified as "/cd(cdrom)".

NOTE

Because VxWorks does not support creation of partition tables, hard disks formatted and initialized on VxWorks are not compatible with DOS machines. This routine does not refuse to mount a hard disk that was initialized on VxWorks. Up to 8 disk partitions are supported.

RETURNS

OK or ERROR.
