PARTFS(8)PARTFS(8)

NAME

partfs – serve file, with partitions

SYNOPSIS

disk/partfs [ -Dr ] [ -d diskname ] [ -m mtpt ] [ -s srvname ] diskimage

DESCRIPTION

Partfs presents the file diskimage in the manner of sd(3) on mtpt/diskname (default /dev/sdXX). Changes made to the disk are written through to diskimage unless the -r option is given.

When setting disk geometry with the geometry control message, the arguments are sectors and sector size.

The -s option causes partfs to post its 9P service at /srv/service.
