  1. Ext2srv Version 0.2
  2. ----------------
  3. Ext2srv is a file server that interprets EXT2 file systems. Ext2srv is identical
  4. to dossrv in specification.
  5. I added just one option. By default ext2srv search for the first ext2 partition
  6. on the device (typically a disk) given by the mount spec option (see bind(1)).
  7. So, if you have different ext2 partitions on the same disk you can select one
  8. of them by adding the partition number at the end of the device in the mount
  9. system call. For example
  10. mount -c /srv/ext2 /n/linux /dev/hd1disk:3
  11. forces the server to look for ext2 filesystem on the third partition of your second
  12. hard drive.
  13. WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
  14. Ext2srv uses some cache. So you must unmount the directory where you
  15. mount your ext2 partition. It's the only way to synchronise dirty buffers
  16. with the disk.
  17. Don't reboot your terminal (^t^t r) without explicitly unmount.
  18. Using something like this script is recommended :
  19. #!/bin/rc
  20. unmount /n/linux >[2] /dev/null
  21. unmount /n/linux2 >[2] /dev/null
  22. disk/kfscmd halt
