-.SH NAME
-usbdisk, usbfat: - serve USB mass storage devices
-.SH SYNOPSIS

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Disk
-serves a directory named
-.I mountpoint
-(default
-.BR /n/disk )
-containing the files
-.B ctl
-and
-.IR n ,
-where
-.I n
-is the number of a LUN to access,
-for all detected LUNs of the named or found USB device.
-.I Disk
-searches for a USB device with class 8 (storage),
-subclass 2 (ATAPI CD/DVD/BD),
-5 (removable, ATAPI-like) or
-6 (SCSI transparent),
-and
-protocol 0x50 (bulk), or uses
-.BI /dev/usb/ ctrlno / id
-if specified.
-In every LUN directory are the files
-.B data
-and
-.BR raw .
-.B data
-gives read/write access to blocks of the device.
-.B raw
-is a raw SCSI-like interface (talk to it with
-.IR scuzz (8)).
-.PP
-The root directory's
-.B ctl
-file accepts the command
-.LR reset ,
-which tells
-.I disk
-to again fetch the information about all LUNs,
-and yields the device geometries when read.
-.PP
-The
-.B -d
-option generates debugging output.
-The
-.B -f
-option avoids freaking out some cheap USB flash disks by not issuing
-UMS reset commands to them.
-The
-.B -l
-option asks the device for its maximum LUN.
-By default,
-.I disk
-assumes a maximum LUN of zero, since some devices
-get upset if you ask them for their maximum LUN.
-Flash memory devices are likely to have multiple LUNs.
-The
-.B -m
-option mounts the served hierarchy on
-.I mountpoint
-instead of
-.BR /n/disk .
-The
-.B -s
-option posts a mountable file descriptor as
-.BI /srv/ srvname.
-The
-.B -D
-option prints all 9P messages.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-Access the usual preformatted FAT partition:
-.IP
-.EX
-% usb/usbd
-% usb/disk -l
-% disk/fdisk -p /n/disk/0/data
-part dos 7 31559
-% dossrv -f /n/disk/0/data:7 usbstorage
-dossrv: serving #s/usbstorage
-% mount /srv/usbstorage /n/d:
-% ls -l /n/d:
-alrw-rw-rw- M 39 bill trog 180364 Oct  5 18:14 /n/d:/9LOAD
-d-rwxrwxrwx M 39 bill trog      0 Nov 13 14:30 /n/d:/benedict
-.EE
-.LP
-The latter part of the above example, from
-.B disk/fdisk
-to
-.BR mount ,
-has been packaged up as
-.IR usbfat: ,
-which mounts the FAT file system in the DOS partition of the named
-.I disk
-(by default
-.BR /n/disk/0/data )
-on
-.I mntpt
-(by default
-.BR /n/usb ).
-.SH FILES
-.TF /srv/usbsfs.ctlr.id
-.TP
-.B /n/disk
-default mountpoint
-.TP
-.B /n/usb
-default mountpoint for FAT file system on the disk
-.TP
-.B /srv/usbfat.$user
-FAT file system service
-.SH SOURCE

-.B /rc/bin/usbfat:
-.SH SEE ALSO
-.IR fs (3),
-.IR sd (3),
-.IR usb (3),
-.IR partfs (8),
-.IR prep (8),
-.IR scuzz (8)
-.SH BUGS
-Should implement
-.IR sd (3)'s
-interface for each LUN.
-Currently,
-if there are multiple partitions, you can use
-.IR fs (3)
-to manage them.
-If
-.L "fdisk -p"
-prints nothing,
-there is no partition table on the device,
-so one can invoke
-.IR dossrv (4)
-directly.
-.PP
-USB 1 flash disks' I/O rates are slow and variable.
-Reading and writing in large units (e.g., 4KB) seems to be faster
-by an order of magnitude when transferring large volumes of data.
