The 'fs_rom' server translates the 'File_system' session interface to the
|
|
'ROM' session' interface. Each request for a ROM file is handled by looking
|
|
up an equally named file on the file system. If no such file could be found,
|
|
the server watches the file system for the creation of the corresponding file.
|
|
Furthermore, the server reflects file changes as signals to the ROM session.

Limitations
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* Symbolic links are not handled
|
|
* The server needs to allocate RAM for each requested file. The RAM is always
|
|
allocated from the RAM session of the server. The RAM quota consumed by the
|
|
server depends on the client requests and the size of the requested files.
|
|
Therefore, one instance of the server should not be used by untrusted clients
|
|
and critical clients at the same time. In such situations, multiple instances
|
|
of the server could be used.
