NAME

bzfs – compressed read–write ram filesystem

SYNOPSIS

bzfs [ –m mtpt ] [ –s ] [ –f file ]

DESCRIPTION

Bzfs reads a bzip2 (see gzip(1)) compressed filesystem archive as produced by mkfs(8) and serves it as a writable ram filesystem. The compressed archive file has to be provided with the –f file option. The –m option sets the mountpoint mtpt (default /root). If the –s flag is specified then the 9p channel /srv/ramfs is created to be used later for mounting the filesystem.

	Bzfs reads a bzip2 (see gzip(1)) compressed filesystem archive as produced by mkfs(8) and serves it as a writable ram filesystem. The compressed archive file has to be provided with the –`f` file option. The –`m` option sets the mountpoint mtpt (default /root). If the –`s` flag is specified then the 9p channel `/srv/ramfs` is created to be used later for mounting the filesystem.
