where you can mount a file system with a userspace server *without*
it having to go through puffs.
Say, you first start a server with ffs capability and map a host
ffs image into it:
rump_server -lrumpvfs -lrumpfs_ffs \
-d key=/ffsimg,hostpath=ffs2.img,size=e unix:///tmp/ffsserv
Then, configure your shell to talk to the rump server:
setenv RUMP_SERVER unix:///tmp/ffsserv
setenv LD_PRELOAD /usr/lib/librumphijack.so
Create a mountpoint and mount the file system:
pain-rustique:60:~> sh
$ cd /rump
$ ls
dev
$ ls -l
total 1
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Feb 17 18:00 dev
$ mkdir mnt
$ mount_ffs /ffsimg /rump/mnt
mount_ffs: Warning: realpath /ffsimg: No such file or directory
$ df -h mnt
Filesystem Size Used Avail %Cap Mounted on
/ffsimg 496M 380M 91M 80% /mnt
$ du -sckh *
192K dev
380M mnt
381M total
$ umount -R mnt
$ df -h mnt
Filesystem Size Used Avail %Cap Mounted on
rumpfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /
$
(note, you need -R to umount due to various degrees of unsuccesful
magic it attempts to perform without it)
