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