Working with Filesystems

The QNX Neutrino RTOS provides a variety of filesystems, so that you can easily access DOS, Linux, as well as native Power-Safe disks.

The Filesystems chapter of the System Architecture guide describes their classes and features.

Under QNX Neutrino:

• You can dynamically start and stop filesystems.
• Multiple filesystems may run concurrently.
• Applications are presented with a single unified pathname space and interface, regardless of the configuration and number of underlying filesystems.

A desktop QNX Neutrino system starts the appropriate block filesystems on booting; you start other filesystems as standalone managers. The default block filesystem is the Power-Safe filesystem.
