TAPEFS(1)						      General Commands Manual							 TAPEFS(1)

NAME

       32vfs, cpiofs, tapfs, tarfs, tpfs, v6fs, v10fs - mount archival file systems

SYNOPSIS

       fs/32vfs [ -m mountpoint ] [ -p passwd ] [ -g group ] file
       fs/cpiofs
       fs/tapfs
       fs/tarfs
       fs/tpfs
       fs/v6fs
       fs/v10fs

DESCRIPTION

       These commands interpret data from traditional tape or file system formats stored in file, and mount their contents (read-only) into a Plan
       9 file system.  The optional -p and -g flags specify Unix-format password (respectively group) files that  give	the  mapping  between  the
       numeric	user-  and  group-ID numbers on the media and the strings reported by Plan 9 status inquiries.	The -m flag introduces the name at
       which the new file system should be attached; the default is /n/tapefs.

       32vfs interprets raw disk images of 32V systems, which are ca. 1978 research Unix systems for the VAX, and also pre-FFS Berkeley  VAX  sys-
       tems (1KB block size).

       Cpiofs interprets cpio tape images (constructed with cpio's c flag).

       Tarfs interprets tar tape images.

       Tpfs interprets tp tapes from the Fifth through Seventh Edition research Unix systems.

       Tapfs interprets tap tapes from the pre-Fifth Edition era.

       V6fs interprets disk images from the Fifth and Sixth edition research Unix systems (512B block size).

       V10fs interprets disk images from the Tenth Edition research Unix systems (4KB block size).

SOURCE

       These  commands	are  constructed  in a highly stereotyped way using the files fs.c and util.c in /sys/src/cmd/tapefs, which in turn derive
       substantially from ramfs(4).

NAME

       dossrv, 9660srv, a:, b:, c:, eject - DOS and ISO9660 file systems

SYNOPSIS

       dossrv [ -v ] [ -s ] [ -f file ] [ service ]

       9660srv [ -v ] [ -s ] [ -f file ] [ service ]

       a:

       b:

       c:

       eject [ n ]

DESCRIPTION

       Dossrv  is a file server that interprets DOS file systems.  A single instance of dossrv can provide access to multiple DOS disks simultane-
       ously.

       Dossrv posts a file descriptor named service (default dos) in the /srv directory.  To access the DOS file system on  a  device,	use  mount
       with  the  spec	argument  (see bind(1)) the name of the file holding raw DOS file system, typically the disk.  If spec is undefined in the
       mount, dossrv will use file as the default name for the device holding the DOS system.

       Normally dossrv creates a pipe to act as the communications channel between itself and its clients.  The -s flag instructs  dossrv  to  use
       its  standard input and output instead.	The kernels use this if they are booting from a DOS disk.  This flag also prevents the creation of
       an explicit service file in /srv.

       The -v flag causes verbose output for debugging.

       The shell script a: contains

	      unmount /n/a: >[2] /dev/null
	      mount -c /srv/dos /n/a: /dev/fd0disk

       and is therefore a shorthand for mounting a floppy disk in drive A.  The scripts b: and c: are similar.

       9660srv is identical to dossrv in specification, except that it interprets ISO9660 CD-ROM file systems instead of DOS file systems.

       If the floppy drive has an ejection motor, eject will spit out the floppy from drive n, default 0.

EXAMPLE

       Mount a floppy disk with a DOS file system on it.
