Read Me
This is a User Space Filesystem to allow access to the contents
of Multics disk volumes from the host file system.
In order to build it, you will need your system's equivalent of the
fuse-devel package.
This code was developed on Fedora Linux, and has only been tested there.
This code only understands 3381 disk packs, as created by the DPS8-M
emulator.
Currently it is read-only; and only readdir is implemented. This means that
'ls' will read the volume directory, but the segments themselves are
inaccessable; and the segment lengths, ACLs and AIMs are ignored.
To build:
$ make
To run:
# Create a mount point
$ mkdir mnt
$ ./mfs rpv.dsk mnt
To use:
$ ls mnt
daemon_dir_dir reload_dir system_library_standard
disk_table site system_library_tandd
documentation system_control_1 system_library_tools
dumps system_library_1 system_library_unbundled
library_dir_dir system_library_3rd_party user_dir_dir
lv system_library_auth_maint
process_dir_dir system_library_obsolete
To end:
$ fusermount -u mnt
What happens if you mount a disk in use?
$ ./mfs rpv.dsk mnt
WARNING: Not dismounted properly
