Say, one which maps to $HOME (or some other, configurable, path) and one which maps to / for advanced users. This could be done by placing symlinks in `pwd` to $HOME and / without altering the current RB filesystem filtering behaviour (if on a UNIX-derivative/POSIX-compliant/..., WinNT-based with NTFS should support hardlinks). This is how I currently access my root filesystem on the simulator. -- Maurus CuelenaereReceived on 2010-05-26 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
