Issue #1255 has been updated by tuxillo. Status changed from In Progress to Closed
Hi, With the following commit: commit 5f22d366f0149afba788dcc6ad06e551840ec1ed Author: Thomas Nikolajsen <[email protected]> Date: Wed Apr 20 00:18:20 2011 +0200 hammer.8: improve general description and markup There were additions to the manpage. See an excerpt. pfs-master dirpath [options] Create a pseudo-filesystem (PFS) inside a HAMMER file system. Up to 65536 PFSs can be created. Each PFS uses an independent inode numbering space making it suitable for replication. The pfs-master directive creates a PFS that you can read, write, and use as a mirroring source. A PFS can only be truly destroyed with the pfs-destroy directive. Removing the softlink will not destroy the underlying PFS. A PFS can only be created in the root PFS (PFS# 0), not in a PFS created by pfs-master or pfs-slave (PFS# >0). It is recommended that dirpath is of the form <fs>/pfs/<name> (i.e. located in pfs directory at root of HAMMER file system). It is recommended to use a null mount to access a PFS, except for root PFS, for more information see HAMMER(5). Closing this one. Cheers, Antonio Huete ---------------------------------------- Bug #1255: creating hammer pfs is more complicated than expected http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/1255#change-11842 * Author: corecode * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: tuxillo * Category: manpage * Target version: 3.8.0 ---------------------------------------- I just tried to create a pfs, but the information given in the man page was not sufficient. Specifically, the correct procedure seems to be: cd /pfs hammer pfs-master foo cd / mkdir foo echo "/pfs/foo /foo null rw 0 0" >> /etc/fstab mount /foo I did a hammer pfs-master /foo which did not yield the desired effect at all. We either need to document what needs to be done, or add a high level command (hammer pfs-add?) which performs all these steps. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
