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:
-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.
