3 ext2srv \- ext2 file system
22 is a file server that interprets the Linux Second Extended File System.
25 can provide access to multiple ext2 partitions simultaneously.
28 posts a file descriptor named
35 To access an ext2 file system on a device, use
42 the name of the file holding the raw ext2 file system, typically the disk or partition.
50 as the default name for the device holding the file system.
54 creates a pipe to act as the communications channel between
55 itself and its clients.
60 to use its standard input and output instead.
61 This flag also prevents the creation of an explicit service file in
66 flag causes verbose output for debugging, while
69 flag (recommended) makes the file system read-only.
74 flags specify Unix-format password (respectively group) files
75 that give the mapping between the numeric user- and group-ID
76 numbers in the ext2 file system and the strings reported by Plan 9 status
79 There is no authentication or permission checking.
80 Anyone who can access the ext2 file system will have full access
81 to all its files, including write access if
83 is not started with the
85 flag, irrespective of file ownership and permission flags.
87 Some file system state is cached in memory, and may
88 be flushed only when the file system is unmounted.
91 is stopped or the machine is rebooted while an ext2 file system
93 the superblock on the device will have been marked `not valid'
99 will be required before that file system may be mounted again.
101 There is no authentication or permission checking.
102 The implementation has not tracked any changes to the ext2
103 specification since it was written.
104 There may be other bugs.
105 It is advisable to use
107 in read-only mode whenever possible.
