I am working on a project for set top boxes and I need to mount a HDD partition formatted with xtvfs filesystem.

I have only received the following information regarding xtvfs:

The partition formatted with xtvfs is basically a type 1 (FAT12) to be used with xtvfs

I searched the internet and found a program called Copy+ that can be used to copy xtvfs images form one HDD to another.

The set top I am working on uses linux and so I need to mount and read the partition on it. I have the following question:

  1. I did not find any xtvfs named filesystem supported in the kernel. Can I be able to mount it using vfat?
  2. If not, then how do I get to work such a filesystem in Linux.

Information on XTVFS is hard to find and support is not widespread - http://wiki.ph-mb.com/wiki/XTVFS is probably the best page I found. I could not find a linux driver for it. XTVFS is based on FAT32 and mounting that on Linux will get you part of the way - basically for everything but the video files. The video files have a separate Video FAT and video data section. I wrote some code to read files from an XTVFS image and will share it once it is tidied.
