Message-ID: <20011114232033.96A4119A34@mail.cse.psu.edu> (raw)
the root file servers are all aliased as kfs so that /boot
(see /sys/src/9/boot) can just exec /kfs. they used to be
called /fs, but then we kept killing it after upas/fs came
along. that was bad.
to be a root file system server, you have to accept the -f and -s
flags that dossrv, 9660srv, kfs, etc. all do.
vdfs is like bzfs and gzfs but used vdsqueeze, a compression
program that we don't have the rights to distribute.
(at&t does, though, and it's in david korn's big unix tools kit.)
