The flip that makes the mount path the volume's content id. fat retires its
hardcoded fat_mounts: it reads its mount path from argv[2] (the volume manager
hands it the id-path, e.g. /volumes/fat-12345678, from the FAT serial), mounts
its volume root there, and installs the /system/configuration + /system/logs FHS
rewrites so /system/logs persistence stays decoupled from which volume backs it.
The rewrites are unconditional this increment (the single volume IS the boot
volume); S3 makes them content-conditional across N volumes. Every /volumes/usb
reference migrates to /volumes/fat-12345678 in one commit — the fat-test,
badge-scope-test, and vfs-test fixtures and the four QEMU regexes — plus a new
volume-identity-name case asserting the id-path mount and the /system/logs
rewrite. Discrimination: the regexes now require /volumes/fat-12345678, which the
old hardcoded fat never emitted (it mounted /volumes/usb). Full suite 128/128.
/etc/init.csv and /etc/devices.csv become /system/configuration/*.csv (the
repo's etc/ moves to system/configuration/, mirroring the runtime tree),
/var/log becomes /system/logs, and /mnt/usb becomes /volumes/usb. The
kernel VFS gains a carve-out so FAT may serve exactly /system/configuration
and /system/logs beneath the initrd-backed /system while /system and /test
themselves stay unshadowable; FAT's single /var mount splits into those two
rewritten mounts. The kvfs readdir check learns /system's third child and
the ramdisk spawn sweep skips the configuration tree.
Suite 106/106.
The 11 QEMU-suite fixtures lived mixed into system/services/ with their
binaries bundled at /system/tests/<name>. Now the repo path is the boot
path, like every real service: test/system/services/<name>. fat-test
moves out of the fat server's directory into its own; display-demo
stays a boot service.
- kernel VFS: setInitialRamdisk derives one read-only initrd mount per
top-level tree named by the ramdisk entry paths (/system, /test),
registers ancestors generically with self-parented roots, and refuses
backend shadowing of any initrd tree
- EFI loader: the fallback walk also enumerates \test (optional — a
volume without fixtures still boots); manifest and capsule unchanged
- path literals: vfs-test self-open + create probe, process-test
process_enumerate matches, the args-echo argv[0] expectation; the
kvfs case now covers the /test root end to end
- docs: DFHS /test rows, tree diagrams, loader prose, and the location
convention gain the third home; fixed the input-source link
100/100 QEMU cases pass.
