The old VN device broke in -4.x when the definition of B_PAGING
changed. This patch fixes this plus implements additional capabilities.
The new VN device can be backed by a file ( as per normal ), or it can
be directly backed by swap.
Due to dependencies in VM include files (on opt_xxx options) the new
vn device cannot be a module yet. This will be fixed in a later commit.

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command configures and enables vnode pseudo disk devices.
|
|
The first form of the command will associate the special file
|
|
.Ar special_file
|
|
with the regular file
|
|
.Ar regular_file
|
|
allowing the latter to be accessed as though it were a disk.
|
|
Hence a regular file within the filesystem can be used for swapping
|
|
or can contain a filesystem that is mounted in the name space. If you
|
|
want to use swap backing store for your device instead of a file, you
|
|
can leave regular_file out and specify the size of the block device
|
|
with the -S option.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Options indicate an action to be performed:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Read a command file and performs the
|
|
specified actions for each device/file pair.
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Configure the device.
|
|
If successful, references to
|
|
.Ar special_file
|
|
will access the contents of
|
|
.Ar regular_file .
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Disable (if possible) the specified feature.
|
|
.It Fl e
|
|
Configure the device and enables any
|
|
.Ar feature
|
|
that was specified.
|
|
If no feature was specified,
|
|
.Fl e
|
|
is the same as
|
|
.Fl c .
|
|
.It Fl f Ar config_file
|
|
Use
|
|
.Ar config_file
|
|
as an alternate config file.

|
|
.El

|
|
.Ar flag .
|
|
The list of allowed flags and their meanings are the same as for the
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Fl S Ar value{k,m,g,t}
|
|
If no regular file is specified, VN will use swap for backing store.
|
|
This option specifies the size of the device. For example, '23m' for
|
|
23 megabytes. The VN device will round the size up to a machine page boundry.
|
|
Filesystems up to 7.9 terrabytes are supported.
|
|
.It Fl u
|
|
Disable and ``unconfigure'' the device.
|
|
.It Fl v

|
Print messages to stdout describing actions taken.
|

.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no action option is given,
|
|
.Fl c
|

is assumed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar feature
|
|
argument specifies a feature that can be enabled via the
|
|
.Fl e
|
|
option:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Dv swap
|
|
Swapping is enabled on the special file.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr swapon 2 .
|
|
.It Dv Pf mountro= Pa mount_point
|
|

|
|
.Xr mount 2 .
|
|
.It Dv Pf mountrw= Pa mount_point
|
|

|
|
Same as ``mountrw=''.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A configuration file contains one line per device/file pair in the form:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
special_file regular_file [ feature ]
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
where fields are seperated by white space.
|
