RUMP_HFS(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					       RUMP_HFS(8)

NAME
rump_hfs -- mount a hfs image with a userspace server SYNOPSIS
file-system PUFFS pseudo-device putter rump_hfs [options] image mountpoint DESCRIPTION
NOTE! This manual page describes features specific to the rump(3) file server. Please see mount_hfs(8) for a full description of the avail- able command line options. The rump_hfs utility can be used to mount hfs file systems. It uses rump(3) and p2k(3) to facilitate running the file system as a server in userspace. As opposed to mount_hfs(8), rump_hfs 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_hfs 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_hfs instead of mount_hfs(8). Corrupt file system images commonly cause the file system to crash the entire kernel, but with rump_hfs only the userspace server process will dump core. To use rump_hfs via mount(8), the flags -o rump and -t hfs should be given. Similarly, rump_hfs is used instead of mount_hfs(8) if ``rump'' is added to the options field of fstab(5). SEE ALSO
p2k(3), puffs(3), rump(3), mount_hfs(8) HISTORY
The rump_hfs utility first appeared in NetBSD 5.0. BSD
