sd_card driver Block service prevents FFAT file system use by multiple clients?

[robjsstewart at ...196...]

Thank you, Norman.

I was indeed using the ffat library which was itself making the requests for a block connection.
I'll change that to using the ffat filesystem server in libports when I get a few minutes.

Hello,

there are two ways of using the ffat file system: linking the ffat
library (libports/src/lib/ffat), or starting the ffat server
(libports/src/server/ffat_fs) and letting your client open a File_system
session to the server. The latter can be done by configuring the VFS of
your client as follows:

  <vfs> <fs/> </vfs>

Apparently Bob has used the library, which requests a Block session
directly. Using ffat_fs should do the trick.

Cheers
Norman
