Ext2srv Version 0.2 ---------------- Ext2srv is a file server that interprets EXT2 file systems. Ext2srv is identical to dossrv in specification. I added just one option. By default ext2srv search for the first ext2 partition on the device (typically a disk) given by the mount spec option (see bind(1)). So, if you have different ext2 partitions on the same disk you can select one of them by adding the partition number at the end of the device in the mount system call. For example mount -c /srv/ext2 /n/linux /dev/hd1disk:3 forces the server to look for ext2 filesystem on the third partition of your second hard drive. WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING Ext2srv uses some cache. So you must unmount the directory where you mount your ext2 partition. It's the only way to synchronise dirty buffers with the disk. Don't reboot your terminal (^t^t r) without explicitly unmount. Using something like this script is recommended : #!/bin/rc unmount /n/linux >[2] /dev/null unmount /n/linux2 >[2] /dev/null disk/kfscmd halt WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING I provide this software `as is' and without any warranty.
