Hi !

I don't know if it is the best place to ask this, but I developed a skeleton of the plugin, and I am unable to copy it into /usr/lib/libkrw.
Here is my install in the Makefile :

install: iokernelrw_krw_plugin.dylib
	sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/libkrw/
	sudo cp iokernelrw_krw_plugin.dylib /usr/lib/libkrw/

When mkdir or cp with sudo rights, I have a Read-only file system error.

I think I have to disable some securities to do that, but I don't know which...
I already disabled the system integrity protection, and my system is able to use unsigned Kext (I installed IOKernelRW).

Best regards

obviously you can't write to rootfs, and its a terrible idea to do so anyway.
Few options here, either we use the /var/jb jbroot option on macOS, or add /opt/libkrw path for macOS use

[alexandredoyen29]

Yep, I think so.
Otherwise, can we use /usr/local to do that, like in IOKernelRW ?

[Cryptiiiic]

yes but if we follow the current trends, when m1 came out, homebrew switched from usr local to /opt/homebrew
