.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Em NOTE!
|
|
This manual page has been generated from a common source shared between all
|
|
.Xr rump 3
|
|
file servers.
|
|
Some parts of this manual page may not apply to this particular server.
|
|
After reading this manual page, you may want to verify the details from
|
|
.Xr mount_tmpfs 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility can be used to mount tmpfs file systems.
|
|
It uses
|
|
.Xr rump 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr p2k 3
|
|
to facilitate running the file system as a server in userspace.
|
|
As opposed to
|
|
.Xr mount_tmpfs 8 ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does not use file system code within the kernel and therefore does
|
|
not require kernel support except
|
|
.Xr puffs 4 .
|
|
Apart from a minor speed penalty (starting from 10% and depending
|
|
on the workload and file system in question), there is no difference
|
|
to using in-kernel code.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In case mounting a file system image from a regular file,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does not require the use of
|
|
.Xr vnconfig 8
|
|
unlike kernel file systems.
|
|
Instead, the image path can be directly passed as the special file path.
|
|
The exception is if the image contains a disklabel.
|
|
In this case vnconfig is required to resolve the start offset for the
|
|
correct partition within the image.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is recommended that untrusted file system images be mounted with
|
|
.Nm
|
|
instead of
|
|
.Xr mount_tmpfs 8 .
|
|
Corrupt file system images commonly cause the file system
|
|
to crash the entire kernel, but with
|
|
.Nm
|
|
only the userspace server process will dump core.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To use
|
|
.Nm
|
|
via
|
|
.Xr mount 8 ,
|
|
the flags
|
|
.Fl o Ar rump
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl t Ar tmpfs
|
|
should be given.
|
|
Similarly,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is run instead of
|
|
.Xr mount_tmpfs 8
|
|
if
|
|
.Dq rump
|
|
is added to the options field of
|
|
.Xr fstab 5 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Please see
|
|
.Xr mount_tmpfs 8
|
|
for a full description of the available command line options.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility first appeared in
|
|
.Nx 5.0 .
|
|
It is currently considered experimental.
