Installation

  1. Uncompress (gunzip) and untar the release package.
  2. Create a backup of the "inodes" using samfsdump. This is a precaution and always a good idea.
          cd /mount_point
          samfsdump cf /path-to-backup
    
  3. Make a copy your mcf file (precaution).
  4. Make a copy of /etc/fs/samfs/inquiry.conf if you have added devices.
  5. umount any mounted SAM-FS file systems and send sam-init a INT.
  6. pkgrm LSCsamfs (if already installed)
  7. pkgadd -d file-name (file-name is the uncompressed package file).
  8. Verify the mcf file has not changed (pkgadd should not overwrite this file) or create a new one (see notes below).
  9. If needed, merge changes from your copy of inquiry.conf into /etc/fs/samfs/inquiry.conf.
  10. Reboot the system. The installation of SAM-FS installs a new system call and a reboot is needed. Failure to reboot will cause a PANIC when the file system is mounted.
  11. mount the file system.
