VACFS 4
NAME
vacfs - a Venti-based file system
SYNOPSIS
vacfs [ -dips ] [ -c cachesize ] [ -h host ] [ -m mtpt ] [ -S srvname ] 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 venti (8) 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: .TF "-c cachesize"

-c " cachesize The number of file system blocks to cache in memory. The default is 1000 blocks.

-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 , which can be configured via ndb (6).

-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 /n/vac .

-p Disables permission checking.

-s Post the 9P channel in /srv/vacfs rather than mounting it on mtpt .

-S " srvname Post the 9P channel in /srv/ srvname rather than mounting it on mtpt .
