Plan 9 /sys/man/8/loadfossil

NAME

loadfossil – populate a fossil filesystem

SYNOPSIS

loadfossil fossil root proto fossil.conf

DESCRIPTION

Loadfossil formats the partition (or file) fossil as a fossil(4) file system, populates it with files from root using the mkfs(8) prototype file proto and installs the configuration in fossil.conf.
Simply declaring fsys main config in fossil.conf takes the device name from fossil –f and avoids wiring it into the configuration.

EXAMPLES

Create a standalone fossil root filesystem for a laptop from the local Plan 9 installation.

sc=/sys/lib/sysconfig loadfossil /dev/sdC0/fossil /n/boot $sc/proto/stand–usb \ $sc/usb/fossil.conf

FILES

/srv/fossil /srv/fossil.open /srv/fscons /srv/fscons.open files created while executing

SOURCE

/rc/bin/loadfossil

	Loadfossil formats the partition (or file) fossil as a fossil(4) file system, populates it with files from root using the mkfs(8) prototype file proto and installs the configuration in fossil.conf. Simply declaring `fsys main config` in fossil.conf takes the device name from `fossil –f` and avoids wiring it into the configuration.


	`/srv/fossil /srv/fossil.open /srv/fscons /srv/fscons.open` files created while executing


	Due to name clashes in `/srv`, should be run only on machines with no running fossil instance named `fossil`.
