SH DESCRIPTION
These commands interpret data from traditional tape or file system formats
stored in
IR file ,
and mount their contents (read-only) into a Plan 9 file system.
The optional
B -p
and
B -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
B -m
flag introduces the name at which the new file system should be
attached; the default is
BR /n/tapefs .
PP
I 32vfs
interprets raw disk images of 32V systems, which are ca. 1978 research Unix systems for
the VAX, and also pre-FFS Berkeley VAX systems (1KB block size).
PP
I Cpiofs
interprets
B cpio
tape images (constructed with
BI cpio 's
B c
flag).
PP
I Tarfs
interprets
I tar
tape images.
PP
I Tpfs
interprets
I tp
tapes from the Fifth through Seventh Edition research Unix systems.
PP
I Tapfs
interprets
I tap
tapes from the pre-Fifth Edition era.
PP
I V6fs
interprets disk images from the
Fifth and Sixth edition research Unix systems (512B block size).
PP
I V10fs
interprets disk images from the
Tenth Edition research Unix systems (4KB block size).
SH SOURCE
PP
These commands are constructed in a highly stereotyped
way using the files
I fs.c
and
I util.c
in
BR /sys/src/cmd/tapefs ,
which in
turn derive substantially from
IR ramfs (4).
