1Ext2srv Version 0.2
2----------------
3
4Ext2srv is a file server that interprets EXT2 file systems. Ext2srv is identical
5to dossrv in specification.
6
7I added just one option. By default ext2srv search for the first ext2 partition
8on the device (typically a disk) given by the mount spec option (see bind(1)).
9So, if you have different ext2 partitions on the same disk you can select one
10of them by adding the partition number at the end of the device in the mount
11system call. For example
12
13 mount -c /srv/ext2 /n/linux /dev/hd1disk:3
14
15forces the server to look for ext2 filesystem on the third partition of your second
16hard drive.

21 Ext2srv uses some cache. So you must unmount the directory where you
22 mount your ext2 partition. It's the only way to synchronise dirty buffers
23 with the disk.
24
25 Don't reboot your terminal (^t^t r) without explicitly unmount.
26
27 Using something like this script is recommended :
28
29 #!/bin/rc
30
31 unmount /n/linux >[2] /dev/null
32 unmount /n/linux2 >[2] /dev/null
33 disk/kfscmd halt
