As discussed into our MirageOS meeting, I would like to add this new interface (and I will add a new type into
mirage/mirage
) to allow the manipulation of a block-device as a read-only filesystem. It fixes #53.More precisely, this implementation is not a
mmap
implementation, it's just a referentially transparentread
operation which can be outsidelwt
because we don't need to deal (with such view) with side-effects (likewrite
).
