Many software packages can be downloaded in the form of an ISO image. ISO images can also be created from CD and saved as ISO images:
$ cat /dev/somecd > somename.iso
Rather than burning the image to a CD-ROM to access its contents, it is easy to mount the image directly into the filesystem... (0 Replies)

Hi all,
Kind of an emergency situation, I have to NFS mount an AIX filesystem on to a Sun Solaris OS (5.10).
Typically from Sun to Sun is:
mount -F nfs <remote file system>/dir <mount point>
Which of course doesn't work if the remote file system is another OS (like AIX).
Is there... (1 Reply)

Say, we are going to mount a remote file system on our server. I am not too sure about how will data be transferred back to original host when it is written to the mounted FS. Could you please share an article or your knowledge on this?
Thanks in advance;

rump_efs
RUMP_EFS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual RUMP_EFS(8)
NAME
rump_efs -- mount a efs image with a userspace server
SYNOPSIS
file-system PUFFS
pseudo-device putter
rump_efs [options] image mountpoint
DESCRIPTION
NOTE! This manual page describes features specific to the rump(3) file server. Please see mount_efs(8) for a full description of the avail-
able command line options.
The rump_efs utility can be used to mount efs file systems. It uses rump(3) and p2k(3) to facilitate running the file system as a server in
userspace. As opposed to mount_efs(8), rump_efs does not use file system code within the kernel and therefore does not require kernel sup-
port except puffs(4). Apart from a minor speed penalty there is no downside with respect to in-kernel code.
rump_efs does not require using vnconfig(8) for mounts from regular files and the file path can be passed directly as the image parameter.
In fact, the use of vnconfig(8) is discouraged, since it is unable to properly deal with images on sparse files.
In case the image contains multiple partitions, the desired partition must be indicated by appending the token ``%DISKLABEL:p%'' to the image
path. The letter ``p'' specifies the partition as obtained via disklabel(8). For example, to mount partition ``e'' from image /tmp/wd0.img,
use ``/tmp/wd0.img%DISKLABEL:e%''.
It is recommended that untrusted file system images be mounted with rump_efs instead of mount_efs(8). Corrupt file system images commonly
cause the file system to crash the entire kernel, but with rump_efs only the userspace server process will dump core.
To use rump_efs via mount(8), the flags -o rump and -t efs should be given. Similarly, rump_efs is used instead of mount_efs(8) if ``rump''
is added to the options field of fstab(5).

HISTORY
The rump_efs utility first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
