BOOTFS 7FS "May 8, 2014"
NAME
bootfs - boot-time module file system
DESCRIPTION
The bootfs file system is a read-only file system that provides access to any boot-time modules that were passed in to the system loader which were tagged with the type file . bootfs does not display any boot-time modules that were tagged as type hash or type rootfs . If modules with duplicate names and paths are specified, only the first such entry will be present in the file system and a counter will be incremented to indicate that a duplicate entry was found, but is not present into the file system. If a module's name only consists of invalid characters, such as '.', '..', or '/', then the module will not be present in the file system and a counter will be incremented to indicate that this has occurred. In both cases, diagnostic information is available through the kstats facility.
FILES
/system/boot

The mount point for the bootfs file system in the global zone.

EXAMPLES

Example 1 Determining if collisions or invalid names are present

To determine if any boot-time modules were not created due to collisions or invalid names, enter the following command: 

# kstat -m bootfs
module: bootfs instance: 1 
name: bootfs class: fs
 crtime 236063.651324041
 nbytes 8749355
 ndirs 3
 ndiscard 0
 ndup 0
 nfiles 2
 snaptime 236063.651324041

The field ndiscard lists the number of boot-time modules that were discarded due to naming conflicts. The field ndup lists the number of duplicate entries that were found and therefore not displayed in the file system.
