Whenever mounting anything with mount_portal, always 6854e99c5Sbgrayson specify absolute paths. By specifying an absolute path for the 7854e99c5Sbgrayson configuration file, it can be re-parsed by sending a HUP to the 8854e99c5Sbgrayson mount process. But since mount_portal calls daemon(), which 9854e99c5Sbgrayson does a chdir("/"), the re-parse will fail unless the 10854e99c5Sbgrayson specified file is absolute, not relative. 11854e99c5Sbgrayson 12854e99c5Sbgrayson 2. The mount point should always be specified as an absolute 13854e99c5Sbgrayson path. Otherwise, umount may not be able to unmount it, as it 14854e99c5Sbgrayson first converts a relative path to an absolute path before 15854e99c5Sbgrayson checking against the mounted file systems (see 16854e99c5Sbgrayson realpath(3)). If you mistakenly mount on portal, instead of 17854e99c5Sbgrayson `pwd`/portal, you can umount with "umount -R portal", which 18854e99c5Sbgrayson may seg fault, but it will umount. 19854e99c5Sbgrayson 20854e99c5SbgraysonDescriptions of files in this directory: 21854e99c5Sbgrayson 22854e99c5Sbgrayson *.conf Configuration files for the corresponding file 23854e99c5Sbgrayson tcp.1 Simple and advanced tcp: daytime and finger 24854e99c5Sbgrayson fing.c Program for tcp.1 25854e99c5Sbgrayson fs.1 Simple fs 26854e99c5Sbgrayson rfilter.1 Simple rfilter usage: bunzip2/bzcat 27854e99c5Sbgrayson rfilter.2 Advanced rfilter usage 28854e99c5Sbgrayson advanced.1 A tutorial 2993051456Satatat cvs.1 How to map a cvs server into your local file system 3093051456Satatat cvs.pl A perl script that does the work for the cvs configuration 31854e99c5Sbgrayson 32854e99c5SbgraysonIn progress: 33854e99c5Sbgrayson wfilter.1 Simple wfilter usage: bzip2 34854e99c5Sbgrayson 35854e99c5SbgraysonMost (if not all) of these examples were written by Brian Grayson 36*b75abedaSsalo(bgrayson@NetBSD.org).
