|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm geom_uzip
|
|
.Nd "GEOM based compressed disk images"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
place the following line in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "options GEOM_UZIP"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
geom_uzip_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
framework provides support for compressed read only
|
|
disk images.
|
|
This allows significant storage savings at the expense of
|
|
a little CPU time on each read.
|
|
Data written in the GEOM label area allows
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to detect compressed images which have been created with
|
|
.Xr mkuzip 8
|
|
and presented to the kernel as a logical disk device via
|
|
.Xr md 4 .
|
|
.Nm
|
|
creates a unique
|
|
.Pa md#.uzip
|
|
device for each image.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device is subsequently used by the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
kernel to access the disk images.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver does not allow write operations to the underlying disk image.
|
|
To check which
|
|
.Xr md 4
|
|
devices match a given
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
