NAME

loadfossil - populate a fossil filesystem

SYNOPSIS

­loadfossil ­fossil ­root ­proto ­fossil.conf

DESCRIPTION

­Loadfossil formats the partition (or file) fossil as a fossil(4) file system, populates it with files from ­root using the mkfs(8) prototype file ­proto and installs the configuration in fossil.conf.

Simply declaring fsys main config in ­fossil.conf takes the device name from ­fossil -f and avoids wiring it into the configuration. 

EXAMPLES

Create a standalone ­fossil root filesystem for a laptop from the local Plan 9 installation. 

sc=/sys/lib/sysconfig
loadfossil /dev/sdC0/fossil /n/boot $sc/proto/stand-usb \
$sc/usb/fossil.conf

FILES

­/srv/fossil

­/srv/fossil.open

­/srv/fscons

­/srv/fscons.open
files created while executing

SOURCE

­/rc/bin/loadfossil

SEE ALSO

fossilcons(8), mkusbboot(8), prep(8)

BUGS

Due to name clashes in /srv, should be run only on machines with no running ­fossil instance named fossil.
