Subject: [9fans] Two ramfs?
Date: Mon,  4 Feb 2008 17:02:49 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <45219fb00802040802i733d99advb98093acbe5f7ef@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

I'd like to write a small simple fileserver, and I've been advised
everywhere to look at ramfs.c.

I saw the src/cmd/ramfs.c, and I think I should be able to write mine
simpler... For example, I'd like to take advantage of the File/Tree
interface (createfile(), ...), having all the files of the fs in
memory.

I found also src/lib9p/ramfs.c, which looks pretty much as what I
want, but this doesn't tollerate remounting well at all (I guess).

I tried it with some modifications (to get it compiled) in plan9port
over linux (./ramfs -D -s test)  and two "9p ls test" in a row makes
the server die.

Where can I see an example of a working fileserver which uses File,
Tree, and the related functions?

Thank you,
Lluís.
