NAME

       kfs - disk file system

SYNOPSIS

       disk/kfs [ -rc ] [ -b n ] [ -f file ] [ -n name ] [ -s ]

DESCRIPTION

       Kfs  is	a  local user-level file server for a Plan 9 terminal with a disk.  It maintains a hierarchical Plan 9 file system on the disk and
       offers 9P (see intro(5)) access to it.  Kfs begins by checking the file system for consistency, rebuilding the free  list,  and	placing  a
       file descriptor in /srv/name, where name is the service name (default kfs).  If the file system is inconsistent, the user is asked for per-
       mission to ream (q.v.)  the disk.  The file system is not checked if it is reamed.

       The options are

       b n    If the file system is reamed, use n byte blocks.	Larger blocks make the file system faster and less space efficient.  1024 and 4096
	      are good choices.  N must be a multiple of 512.

       c      Do not check the file system.

       f file Use file as the disk.  The default is /dev/sd0fs.

       n name Use kfs.name as the name of the service.

       r      Ream the file system, erasing all of the old data and adding all blocks to the free list.

       s      Post file descriptor zero in /srv/service and read and write protocol messages on file descriptor one.

EXAMPLES

       Create a file system with service name kfs.local and mount it on /n/kfs.

	      % kfs -rb4096 -nlocal
	      % mount -c /srv/kfs.local /n/kfs

FILES

       /dev/sd0fs
	      Default file holding blocks.

HOME(8) 						      System Manager's Manual							   HOME(8)

NAME

       home, 40meg, 80meg, personalize, update, Disclabel - administration for local file systems

SYNOPSIS

       gnot/home
       gnot/personalize
       gnot/update

       magnum/home
       magnum/personalize
       magnum/update

       pc/40meg
       pc/80meg
       pc/personalize
       pc/update

       nextstation/home
       nextstation/update

DESCRIPTION

       These programs help maintain a file system on a local disk for a private machine.

       Home  partitions a disk, copies the appropriate kernel to the disk, and makes a new file system on the disk.  To do this, it overwrites the
       vendor-supplied software on the disk with a copy of Plan 9.  40meg, 80meg, and 100meg configure disks and make file systems  for  disks	of
       the appropriate size.

       Update copies the current kernel to the disk and updates files on the local file system.  It only updates those files put there by the home
       program.

       Personalize removes the contents of the /usr directory on the local disk and copies a minimal set of files for the user who runs  the  com-
       mand.

       The  file  /rc/bin/nextstation/Disclabel,  despite  its	name,  is not an rc(1) script.	It contains the second stage bootstrap program for
       Nextstations booting from local disk.  Before  booting  a  Plan	9  Nextstation	from  disk,  it  should  be  installed	in  the  partition
       /dev/hd1label; this is normally done by nexstation/home.

FILES

       /lib/proto/portproto
	      Mkfs prototype files for magnum/home, magnum/update, gnot/home, and gnot/update.

       /lib/proto/386proto
	      Mkfs prototype files for pc/40meg, pc/80meg, and pc/update.
