CrossOver allows you to add new drives to be used by Windows applications, and to change their label or serial number. If you need to create a new drive or have an application which depends on a serial number or Windows volume label then follow the examples below.
For example to make the path /mnt/something
available
as the drive J: in a bottle, you would execute the following command:
$
ln -s
/mnt/something
"~/.cxoffice/bottlename
/dosdevices/j:"
To associate this drive to the /dev/hdb1
device you
would add a double colon to the command. This command is equivalent to the
"Device" line in the old configuration file.
$
ln -s
/dev/hdb1
"~/.cxoffice/bottlename
/dosdevices/j::"
For 'real' devices, CrossOver should automatically get the serial number and
label for a volume. However you can also set these manually. To set the
serial number of a given mount point you need to create a file called
.windows-serial
on the root of the virtual drive.
$
echo '12345678' >
/mnt/something
/.windows-serial
To set the label you would create a file called
.windows-label
on the root of the virtual drive.
$
echo 'MY_LABEL' >
/mnt/something
/.windows-label
