|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "pseudo-device fss 4"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides a read-only interface to the snapshot of a currently
|
|
mounted file system.
|
|
Reading from a
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device gives the view of the file system when the snapshot was taken.
|
|
It can be configured via
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2 .
|
|
.Sh IOCTLS
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
command codes below are defined in
|
|
.Aq Pa sys/dev/fssvar.h .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The (third) argument to
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
should be a pointer to the type indicated.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 8n
|
|
.It Dv FSSIOCSET(struct fss_set)
|
|
Configures a
|
|

};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The struct element
|
|
.Va fss_mount
|
|
is the mount point of the file system.
|
|
The struct element
|
|
.Va fss_bstore
|
|
is either a regular file or a raw disk device where data overwritten on
|
|
the file system will be saved.
|
|
The struct element
|
|
.Va fss_csize
|
|
is the preferred size of this data.
|
|
.It Dv FSSIOCGET(struct fss_get)
|
|
Gets the status of a
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device.

.Ed
|
|
The struct element
|
|
.Va fsg_mount
|
|
is the mount point of the file system.
|
|
The struct element
|
|
.Va fsg_time
|
|
is the time this snapshot was taken.
|
|
The struct element
|
|
.Va fsg_csize
|
|
is the current size of data clusters.
|
|
The struct element
|
|
.Va fsg_mount_size
|
|
is the number of clusters of the file system.
|
|
The struct element
|
|
.Va fsg_bs_size
|
|
is the number of clusters written to the backing store.
|
|
.It Dv FSSIOCCLR
|
|
Unconfigures a
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device.
|
|
.It Dv FSSIOFSET(int)
|
|
Sets the flags of a
|
|
.Nm

|
device.
|
|
Possible flags are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Dv
|
|
.It Dv FSS_UNCONFIG_ON_CLOSE
|
|

.It Dv FSSIOFGET(int)
|
|
Gets the flags of a
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device.

.El
|
|
.Sh KERNEL THREADS
|
|
For each active snapshot device there is a kernel thread
|
|
that handles the backing store.
|
|
This thread is named
|
|
.Va fssbsN
|
|
where
|
|
.Va N
|
|
is the device minor number.
