:Hi,
:
:I'm trying to mount a hammer filesystem as root via vfs.root.mountfrom.
:I tried some simple patches to make it work, but I still get panics. Is
:it any harder than calling VFS_MOUNT for the hammer filesystem?
:
:That would allow to have a small partition with /boot on it, and the
:rest would be loaded from the hammer partition.
:
:Regards,

A root mount wil call mount with a NULL path and NULL data
pointer. I think it would be fairly easy to adjust HAMMER to
deal with that.
You can look at the UFS code as an example. Look at
/usr/src/sys/vfs/ufs/ffs_vfsops.c starting on line 151.
