NAME
| |
vacfs – a Venti-based file system
|
SYNOPSIS
| |
vacfs [ −dip ] [ −h host ] [ −m mtpt ] [ −s srvname ] [ −M mem
] vacfile
|
DESCRIPTION
| |
Vacfs interprets the file system created by vac(1) so that it
can be mounted into a Plan 9 file hierarchy. The data for the
file system is stored on a Venti server with a root fingerprint
specified in vacfile. Vacfs is currently rather limited: access
is read-only, clients are not authenticated, and groups are assumed
to contain a single member with the same
name. These restrictions should eventually be removed.
Options to vacfs are:
−d Print debugging information to standard error.
−h host
| |
The network address of the Venti server. The default is taken
from the environment variable venti. If this variable does not
exist, then the default is the metaname $venti.
|
−i Use file descriptors 0 and 1 as the 9P communication channel
rather than create a pipe.
−m mtpt
| |
The location to mount the file system. The default is not to mount.
|
−p Disables permission checking.
−s The name of the 9P service to post. The default is vacfs.name,
where name is vacfile without any directory name or .vac extension.
−M mem
| |
The amount of memory, in bytes, allocated to the block cache.
The default is 16M.
