cwfs(4) tips
============
-No-dump configuration
----------------------
-
-A cheap VPS or an SD card lack the storage capacity for running a usable
-default `cwfs(4)` setup with a big WORM partition and daily dumps.
-The go-to solution is the `hjfs(4)` file system, which doesn't
-use a dedicated WORM partition and doesn't do daily dumps by default.
-However, it has several performance problems and is not as well tested.
-
-The `cwfs` file system can be configured in lots of ways beyond the
-default cache-worm + other configuration supported by the 9front
-installer.
-
-The desired configuration we're going to cover is a single `main`
-file server tree backed by a simple disk file system - the same type
-used by the `other` tree in the default setup.
-
-To do this we're going to partition the disk appropriately and override
-the `mountcwfs` stage of the 9front installer with a replacement
-[script](http://a-b.xyz/23/666a) that will configure `cwfs`
-appropriately. The rest of the installation and most of the
-subsequent system operation remain unaffected.
-
-Start by booting from the installation media. Configure networking
-with `ip/ipconfig(8)` and fetch the replacement `mountcwfs` script,
-or put the script on a flash drive:
-
- webfs
- ramfs
- hget http://a-b.xyz/23/666a >/tmp/mountcwfs
- chmod +x /tmp/mountcwfs
-
-Override the `mountcwfs` stage using `bind(1)`:
-
- bind /tmp/mountcwfs /bin/inst/mountcwfs
-
-Run `inst/start` and complete the stages up to `preppart` as you would
-normally. At `preppart`, delete the default partitions and create one
-named `fsmain` with a desired size:
-
- d other
- d fscache
- d fsworm
- a fsmain 123456 .+100%
- w
- q
-
-Make sure to "ream" the new partition at the next step.
-
-Complete the rest of the installation, reboot. That is all.
