1. Filesystem type detection (architect P2 finding)
_primitives/_rust/keisei/src/fs_type.rs (NEW, 103 LOC)
- statfs(2)-based detection on unix (libc = '0.2' under
[target.'cfg(unix)'.dependencies])
- Recognizes exfat / msdos (FAT32) via f_fstypename on macOS,
via f_type magic numbers on Linux (0x4d44, 0x2011bab0)
- Windows stub returns Unknown (GetVolumeInformationW TBD)
- warn_on_unsafe_fs(root) emits stderr warning on ExFat/Fat32
brain.rs::load calls warn_on_unsafe_fs after canonicalize+symlink
checks. Warning NOT fatal — user can opt into single-client use.
2. Battle-test matrix (architect P3 finding)
tests/battle/Dockerfile.install-test-alpine (NEW)
- alpine:3.19 + apk rust/cargo/pandoc
- Exposes musl-vs-glibc issues in aws-sdk-s3, rusqlite, git2
tests/battle/Dockerfile.install-test-debian (NEW)
- debian:12 + rustup stable + pandoc
- Default server distro, different apt structure from Ubuntu
tests/battle/README.md rewritten — 3-distro matrix with run script
3. USB-BRAIN-GUIDE platform split
docs/USB-BRAIN-GUIDE.md — restructured as TOC + platform-agnostic
preamble + exFAT warning + cross-platform troubleshooting
docs/USB-BRAIN-GUIDE-macos.md (NEW, 97 LOC) — Gatekeeper, diskutil,
/Volumes, xattr -d com.apple.quarantine
docs/USB-BRAIN-GUIDE-linux.md (NEW, 98 LOC) — /media/$USER,
umount, ext4 recommended, systemd-udev auto-mount note
docs/USB-BRAIN-GUIDE-windows.md (NEW, 115 LOC) — PowerShell
Dismount-Volume, NTFS, FS-advisory Unknown caveat
REAL VERIFICATION (paste from agent):
cargo check -p keisei: Finished (clean)
cargo test -p keisei --release: 32 passed 0 failed (30 existing + 2 new)
docker buildx outline: both new Dockerfiles parse
Constructor Pattern:
fs_type.rs 103 LOC, brain.rs 198 LOC (at limit 200, held the line)
All fns <30 LOC. Each USB guide sub-doc 97-115 LOC.

# USB Exobrain — Linux Walkthrough
|
|
|
|
> Platform-specific companion to `USB-BRAIN-GUIDE.md`. Read the top-level guide first for prerequisites, warnings, and invariants.
|
|
|
|
On Linux, auto-mounted removable media typically lands at `/media/$USER/<LABEL>` (GNOME, KDE, auto-mounters) or `/run/media/$USER/<LABEL>` (systemd-udisks2). Substitute your actual mount point below.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Create the brain directory
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
BRAIN=/media/$USER/EXOBRAIN/my-brain
|
|
mkdir -p "$BRAIN"/{bin,memory,artifacts,manifests}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 2. Download MCP server binaries
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
BASE=https://github.com/KeiSei84/KeiSeiKit/releases/download/v0.21.0
|
|
cd "$BRAIN/bin"
|
|
for n in darwin-arm64 darwin-x64 linux-x64 linux-arm64 windows-x64.exe; do
|
|
curl -fL -O "$BASE/kei-mcp-server-$n" 2>/dev/null || echo "skipped $n"
|
|
curl -fL -O "$BASE/kei-mcp-server-$n.sha256" 2>/dev/null || true
|
|
done
|
|
|
|
for f in kei-mcp-server-*.sha256; do sha256sum -c "$f"; done
|
|
chmod +x kei-mcp-server-linux-* kei-mcp-server-darwin-* 2>/dev/null || true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
No Gatekeeper / `xattr` step on Linux. The `chmod +x` is still required — the executable bit is not restored by `curl`.
|
|
|
|
## 3. Write `manifest.toml` (schema v2)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat > "$BRAIN/manifest.toml" <<'EOF'
|
|
[brain]
|
|
schema_version = 2
|
|
name = "my-brain"
|
|
created = "2026-04-22T00:00:00Z"
|
|
|
|
[paths]
|
|
memory = "memory/"
|
|
artifacts = "artifacts/"
|
|
manifests = "manifests/"
|
|
|
|
[paths.mcp_server]
|
|
darwin-arm64 = "bin/kei-mcp-server-darwin-arm64"
|
|
darwin-x64 = "bin/kei-mcp-server-darwin-x64"
|
|
linux-x64 = "bin/kei-mcp-server-linux-x64"
|
|
linux-arm64 = "bin/kei-mcp-server-linux-arm64"
|
|
windows-x64 = "bin/kei-mcp-server-windows-x64.exe"
|
|
EOF
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 4. Verify + attach
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
keisei list-adapters
|
|
keisei status # "no brain attached"
|
|
keisei attach "$BRAIN" --scope=user
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Marker lands at `~/.keisei/attached.toml`; Claude Code settings at `~/.claude/settings.json`.
|
|
|
|
## 5. Verify in Claude Code
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
jq '.mcpServers["my-brain"]' ~/.claude/settings.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 6. Multi-client mount
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
keisei mount "$BRAIN"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Linux adapter paths: `~/.claude/settings.json`, `~/.cursor/mcp.json`, `~/.continue/config.json`, `~/.config/zed/settings.json`.
|
|
|
|
## 7. Project-scope
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd ~/path/to/your-repo
|
|
keisei attach "$BRAIN" --scope=project # claude-code + cursor only
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 8. Detach + unmount
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
keisei detach
|
|
umount /media/$USER/EXOBRAIN # or: sync && udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sdX1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If `umount` returns "target is busy", close any shell with its CWD under the mount, then retry. `lsof +f -- /media/$USER/EXOBRAIN` lists open handles.
|
|
|
|
## Linux-specific troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
- **Filesystem detection** — `keisei` calls `statfs(2)` at load time. exFAT (`EXFAT_SUPER_MAGIC = 0x2011bab0`) and FAT32 (`MSDOS_SUPER_MAGIC = 0x4d44`) trigger the SQLite-WAL-unsafe advisory. Format the USB as ext4 for reliable multi-client use.
|
|
- **Auto-mounted `noexec` partitions** — some distros mount removable media `noexec` by default. If the mcp server refuses to run, remount read-write-executable: `sudo mount -o remount,exec /media/$USER/EXOBRAIN`. Alternatively add a line to `/etc/fstab` keyed by UUID (`blkid /dev/sdX1`).
|
|
- **Permissions drift** — if you copy a brain from macOS via tar / rsync, the executable bit may not survive. Re-apply `chmod +x bin/kei-mcp-server-*`.
|
|
- **Optional — systemd auto-attach** — a `systemd-udev` rule can run `keisei attach <mount>/my-brain --scope=user` whenever a labelled stick shows up, and a matching `udev` remove rule can call `keisei detach`. Out of scope for this guide; see `ArchWiki: Udisks#Auto-mount`.
