VFS kernel driver (cxvfs)
NFS kernel driver (cxnfs)
Linux-EXT2 kernel driver (ext2fs)
SGI-XFS kernel driver (xfs)
Linux-Reiserfs kernel driver (reiserfs)
CXVFS manager service
NFS portmapd service
NFS mountd service
Command line programs
Before you begin the installation of this product make sure you meet the
following requirements.
?System running Microsoft Windows operating system. This product runs

the Crossmeta File System Installation Wizard. The installation involves several
stages as described below.
Stage 1:
Creating the following kernel mode services programs:
?cxvfs (Crossmeta VFS kernel driver)
?cxnfs (Crossmeta NFS kernel driver)
?ext2fs (Crossmeta Linux-ext2fs kernel driver)
?xfs (Crossmeta SGI-xfs kernel driver)
?reiserfs (Crossmeta Linux-reiserfs kernel driver)
Windows service programs
?cxvfsmgr.exe (Crossmeta manager service program)
?portmapd.exe (RPC portmapper service program)
?mountd.exe (NFS mount daemon)
The services are created to be started manually. Otherwise a faulty kernel mode
driver will prevent you from booting the system into operational state.
Stage 2:
This stage is for setting up the root file system. Currently the installation program
prepares an ordinary file into root file system image. Using loopdev driver
interface this file is made available as block device /dev/loop0 for kernel to mount
as root file system. This root file system will contain the /bin directory, where the
command line…
