sfscd_config(5)

NAME

sfscd_config - meta-client configuration

DESCRIPTION

The sfscd_config is really part of the SFS protocol speci

fication. If you change it, you will no longer be executing the

SFS protocol. Nonetheless, you need to do this to innovate, and

SFS was designed to make implementing new kinds of file systems

easy.

sfscd_config takes the following directives:

Extension string

Specifies that sfscd should send string to all servers

to advertise that it runs an extension of the protocol. Most

servers will ignore string, but those that support the extension

can pass off the connection to a new ``extended'' server daemon.

You can specify multiple Extension directives.

Protocol name daemon [arg ...]

Specifies that pathnames of the form

/sfs/name:anything should be handled by the client daemon daemon.

name may not contain any non-alphanumeric characters. The

Protocol

are not mounted on self-certifying file systems.
Release {* | sfs-version}

Begins a section of the file that applies to servers

running SFS release sfs-version or older. * signifies arbitrari

ly large SFS release numbers. The Release directive does not do

anything on its own, but applies to all subsequent Program direc

tives until the next Release directive.

Libdir path

Specifies where SFS should look for daemon programs

when their pathnames do not begin with /. The default is

/usr/local/lib/sfs-0.8pre. The Libdir directive does not do any

thing on its own, but applies to all subsequent Program direc

tives until the next Libdir or Release directive.

Program prog.vers daemon [arg ...]

Specifies that connections to servers running Sun RPC

program number prog and version vers should be handed off to the

the local daemon daemon. SFS currently defines two RPC program

numbers. Ordinary read-write servers use program number 344444,

version 3 (a protocol very similar to NFS3), while read-only

servers use program 344446, version 2. The Program directive

must be preceded by a Release directive.

The default sfscd_config file is:

Release *

Program 344444.3 sfsrwcd
Program 344446.2 sfsrocd

To run a different set of daemons when talking to sfs-0.3

or older servers, you could add the following lines:

Release 0.3

Libdir /usr/local/lib/sfs-0.3
Program 344444.3 sfsrwcd

FILES

/etc/sfs/sfscd_config
/usr/local/share/sfs/sfscd_config

meta-client configuration

(Files in /etc/sfs supersede default versions in

/usr/local/share/sfs.)
