LOADFOSSIL(8) LOADFOSSIL(8)
NAME
loadfossil - populate a fossil filesystem
SYNOPSIS
loadfossil fossil root proto fossil.conf
DESCRIPTION
Loadfossil formats the partition (or file) fossil as a
fossil(4) file system, populates it with files from root
using the mkfs(8) prototype file proto and installs the con-
figuration in fossil.conf.
Simply declaring `fsys main config' in fossil.conf takes the
device name from `fossil -f' and avoids wiring it into the
configuration.
EXAMPLES
Create a standalone fossil root filesystem for a laptop from
the local Plan 9 installation.
sc=/sys/lib/sysconfig
loadfossil /dev/sdC0/fossil /n/boot $sc/proto/stand-usb \
$sc/usb/fossil.conf
FILES
/srv/fossil
/srv/fossil.open
/srv/fscons
/srv/fscons.open files created while executing
SOURCE
/rc/bin/loadfossil
SEE ALSO

BUGS
Due to name clashes in /srv, should be run only on machines
with no running fossil instance named `fossil'.
