VACFS(4) VACFS(4)
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.
