DOSSRV(4)

NAME

dossrv, 9660srv − DOS/Windows and ISO 9660 file systems

SYNOPSIS

­svc/dossrv/dossrv [−v] [−S] [−F] [−c] [ -l logfile ] [ -f devicefile ] [ -m mountpoint ]

­svc/cdfs/9660srv [−rab] ­cdfile ­dir

DESCRIPTION

­Dossrv makes the contents of a DOS/Windows file system visible in the Inferno name space.  The options are:

­-v verbose output for debugging

­-S show Styx messages

­-F display FAT information

­-c display cluster data

-l logfile
debugging messages are written to ­logfile (standard output by default)

-f devicefile
the DOS/Windows file system image; defaults to /dev/hd0disk. 

-m mountpoint
The directory where the contents of the file system should appear; defaults to /n/dos. 

­9660srv performs a similar function for files (notably CDROMs) in ISO9660 format, including the Rock Ridge extension and its Plan 9 variant.  It makes the contents of ­cdfile visible in the name space at dir. The options are those of bind(1): −r, to replace the contents of dir; −a, to make a union directory with the CD contents after the contents of dir; −b, to make a union directory with the CD contents before the contents of dir.
