NAME

vacfs - mount venti archive

SYNOPSIS

vacfs [ -Ddp ] [ -a addr ] [vacfile]

DESCRIPTION

Vacfs makes the contents of a venti archive available over styx. Standard input is used for reading and writing styx messages. If vacfile is not specified to read a score from, vacfs serves multiple venti archives. In this case the root directory lists no files, but walking to a directory score opens the venti archive with that score. Note that the vacfs does not support writing.

-D

Print styx trace messages.

-a address

Dial address instead of the default venti server.

-d

Print debug messages.

-p

Disable permission checking.

BUGS

Vacfs needs more testing.
When the venti connection is broken, directories appear empty. This is due to styxservers(2).
