TAPEFS(1)                   General Commands Manual                  TAPEFS(1)



NAME
       32vfs,  cpiofs,  tapfs,  tarfs, tpfs, v6fs, v10fs - mount archival file
       systems

SYNOPSIS
       fs/32vfs [ -m mountpoint ] [ -p passwd ] [ -g group ] file
       fs/cpiofs
       fs/tapfs
       fs/tarfs
       fs/tpfs
       fs/v6fs
       fs/v10fs

DESCRIPTION
       These commands interpret data from traditional tape or file system for‐
       mats stored in file, and mount their contents (read-only) into a Plan 9
       file system.  The optional -p and -g flags specify Unix-format password
       (respectively  group)  files  that give the mapping between the numeric
       user- and group-ID numbers on the media and  the  strings  reported  by
       Plan  9 status inquiries.  The -m flag introduces the name at which the
       new file system should be attached; the default is /n/tapefs.

       32vfs interprets raw disk images of 32V systems, which are ca. 1978 re‐
       search  Unix systems for the VAX, and also pre-FFS Berkeley VAX systems
       (1KB block size).

       Cpiofs interprets cpio tape images (constructed with cpio's c flag).

       Tarfs interprets tar tape images.

       Tpfs interprets tp tapes from the Fifth  through  Seventh  Edition  re‐
       search Unix systems.

       Tapfs interprets tap tapes from the pre-Fifth Edition era.

       V6fs  interprets  disk images from the Fifth and Sixth edition research
       Unix systems (512B block size).

       V10fs interprets disk images from the Tenth Edition research Unix  sys‐
       tems (4KB block size).

SOURCE
       These  commands  are  constructed in a highly stereotyped way using the
       files fs.c and util.c in /sys/src/cmd/tapefs, which in turn derive sub‐
       stantially from ramfs(4).
