SYNOPSIS
gnot/home
gnot/personalize

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.

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.
