.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
program is designed to be a work-alike and look-alike of the deprecated
|
|
.Xr mount_mfs 8 .
|
|
The end result is essentially the same,
|
|
but is accomplished in a completely different way.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
configures an
|
|
.Xr md 4
|
|
disk using
|
|
.Xr mdconfig 8 ,
|
|
labels it using
|
|
.Xr disklabel 8 ,
|
|
puts a UFS filesystem on it using
|
|
.Xr newfs 8 ,
|
|
and mounts it using
|
|
.Xr mount 8 .
|
|
All the command line options are passed to the appropriate program
|
|
at the appropriate stage in order to achieve the desired effect.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
creates a swap-based
|
|
.Pq Dv MD_SWAP
|
|
disk with soft-updates enabled
|
|
and mounts it on
|
|
.Ar mount-point .
|
|
It uses the
|
|
.Xr md 4
|
|
device specified by
|
|
.Ar md-device .
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar md-device
|
|
is
|
|
.Ql md
|
|
(no unit number),
|
|
it will use
|
|
.Xr md 4 Ns 's
|
|
auto-unit feature to automatically select an unused device.
|
|
Unless otherwise specified with one of the options below,
|
|
it uses the default arguments to all the helper programs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available.
|
|
Where possible,
|
|
the option letter matches the one used by
|
|
.Xr mount_mfs 8
|
|
for the same thing.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl a Ar maxcontig
|
|
Specify the maximum number of contiguous blocks that will be laid
|
|
out before forcing a rotational delay
|
|
(see the
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
option).
|
|
.It Fl b Ar block-size
|
|
The block size of the filesystem, in bytes.
|
|
.It Fl c Ar cylinders
|
|
The number of cylinders per cylinder group in the filesystem.
|
|
.It Fl D
|
|
If not using auto-unit,
|
|
don't run
|
|
.Xr mdconfig 8
|
|
to try to detach the unit before attaching it.
|
|
.It Fl d Ar rotdelay
|
|
Specify the mininum time in milliseconds required to initiate another
|
|
disk transfer on the same cylinder.
|
|
Modern disks with read/write-behind achieve higher performance without
|
|
this feature,
|
|
so it is best to leave it at 0 milliseconds.
|
|
.It Fl e Ar maxbpg
|
|
Indicate the maximum number of blocks any single file can allocate
|
|
out of a cylinder group before it is forced to begin allocating
|
|
blocks from another cylinder group.
|
|
.It Fl F Ar file
|
|
Create a vnode-backed
|
|
.Pq Dv MD_VNODE
|
|
memory disk backed by
|
|
.Ar file .
|
|
.It Fl f Ar frag-size
|
|
The fragment size of the filesystem in bytes.
|
|
.It Fl i Ar bytes
|
|
Number of bytes per inode.
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
Show the output of the helper programs.
|
|
By default,
|
|
it is sent to
|
|
.Pa /dev/null .
|
|
.It Fl M
|
|
Create a
|
|
.Xr malloc 9
|
|
backed disk
|
|
.Pq Dv MD_MALLOC
|
|
instead of a swap-backed disk.
|
|
.It Fl m Ar percent-free
|
|
The percentage of space reserved for the superuser.
|
|
.It Fl N
|
|
Don't actually run the helper programs.
|
|
This is most useful in conjunction with
|
|
.Fl X .
|
|
.It Fl n Ar rotational-positions
|
|
The default number of rotational positions to distinguish.
|
|
.It Fl O Ar optimization
|
|
Select the optimization preference;
|
|
valid choices are
|
|
.Ar space
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar time ,
|
|
which will optimize for minimum space fragmentation and
|
|
minimum time spent allocating blocks,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
.It Fl o Ar mount-options
|
|
Specify the mount options with which to mount the filesystem.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr mount 8
|
|
for more information.
|
|
.It Fl p Ar permissions
|
|
Set the file (directory) permissions of the mount point
|
|
.Ar mount-point
|
|
to
|
|
.Ar permissions .
|
|
.It Fl S
|
|
Don't enable soft-updates on the filesystem.
|
|
.It Fl s Ar size
|
|
Specify the size of the disk to create.
|
|
This only makes sense if
|
|
.Fl F
|
|
is
|
|
.Em not
|
|
specified.
|
|
That is,
|
|
this will work for the default swap-backed
|
|
.Pq Dv MD_SWAP
|
|
disks,
|
|
and the optional
|
|
.Pq Fl M
|
|
.Xr malloc 9
|
|
backed disks
|
|
.Pq Dv MD_MALLOC .
|
|
.It Fl w Ar user Ns | Ns Ar group
|
|
Set the owner user and group to
|
|
.Ar user
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar group ,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
The arguments have the same semantics as with
|
|
.Xr chown 8 ,
|
|
but specifying just a user or just a group is not supported.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl F
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
options are passed to
|
|
.Xr mdconfig 8
|
|
as
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl s ,
|
|
respectively.

|

|
|
.Fl c ,
|
|
.Fl d ,
|
|
.Fl e ,
|
|
.Fl f ,
|
|
.Fl i ,
|
|
.FL m
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
options are passed to
|
|
.Xr newfs 8
|
|
with the same letter;
|
|
the
|
|
.Fl O
|
|
option is passed to
|
|
.Xr newfs 8
|
|
as
|
|
.Fl o .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
option is passed to
|
|
.Xr mount 8
|
|
with the same letter.
|
|
See the programs that the options are passed to for more information
|
|
on their semantics.
|
|
