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 au‐
thenticated, 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.
