NAME
partfs - serve file, with partitions
SYNOPSIS
disk/partfs [ -Dr ] [ -d diskname ] [ -m mtpt ] [ -s srvname ] diskim‐
age
DESCRIPTION
Partfs presents the file diskimage in the manner of sd(3) on
mtpt/diskname (default /dev/sdXX). Changes made to the disk are writ‐
ten through to diskimage unless the -r option is given.
When setting disk geometry with the geometry control message, the argu‐
ments are sectors and sector size.
The -s option causes partfs to post its 9P service at /srv/service.
