It will associate (or disassociate) the special file .Ar vnd_dev with the regular file .Ar image , allowing the latter to be accessed as though it were a disk. Hence a regular file within the file system can be used for swapping or can contain a file system that is mounted in the name space. .Pp Both traditional devices, .Xr vnd 4 , and the cache-coherent devices, .Pa svnd , are configured through .Nm vnconfig . .Pa svnd should be mounted with the .Xr mount 8 option .Dq sync if .Ar image is being read from, to ensure consistency in the buffer cache. For normal operation this is not necessary. .Pp .Nm mount_vnd works similarly to .Nm vnconfig , but it provides an interface that can be used by the .Xr fstab 5 infrastructure, so that an .Ar image file can be configured to a device .Ar node while booting. .Pp .Nm mount_vnd is invoked by .Xr mount 8 when using the following syntax: .Bd -ragged -offset 4n .Nm mount Op options -t vnd .Ar image Ar node .Ed .Pp The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl c .Nm vnconfig only. Configures the device. If successful, references to .Ar vnd_dev will access the contents of .Ar image . This is the default operation. .It Fl K Ar rounds Associate an encryption key with the device. All data will be encrypted using the Blowfish cipher before it is written to the disk. The user is asked for both a passphrase and the name of a salt file. The salt file can also be specified on the command line using the .Fl S option. The passphrase and salt are combined according to PKCS #5 PBKDF2 for the specified number of rounds to generate the actual key used. .Ar rounds is a number between 1000 and .Dv INT_MAX . DO NOT LOSE THE SALT FILE. Encryption only works with .Pa svnd . .It Fl k Associate an encryption key with the device. All data will be encrypted using the Blowfish cipher before it is written to the disk. Encryption only works with .Pa svnd . .It Fl l .Nm vnconfig only. List the (s)vnd devices and indicate which ones are in use. If a specific .Ar vnd_dev is given, then only that one will be described. .It Fl o Ar options .Nm mount_vnd only. Options are specified with a .Fl o flag followed by a comma separated string of options. See the .Xr mount 8 man page for possible options and their meanings. .Pp At the moment, .Fl o is only here for compatibility reasons, but no use is made of supplied options. .It Fl S Ar saltfile When .Fl K is used, specify the .Pa saltfile . If the salt filename is not specified using .Fl S , it defaults to .Ar image Ns .slt . .It Fl u .Nm vnconfig only. Unconfigures a .Ar vnd_dev . .It Fl v .Nm vnconfig only. Print messages to stdout describing actions taken. .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /etc/rvnd?? -compact .It Pa /dev/{,r}{,s}vnd* .El .Sh EXAMPLES Configure a CD-ROM or DVD image file as vnode disk svnd0 and mount the ISO 9660 file system contained in it: .Bd -literal -offset indent # vnconfig svnd0 /tmp/diskimage # mount -t cd9660 /dev/svnd0c /mnt .Ed .Pp Configure an encrypted image file as vnode disk svnd0 and mount the FFS file system contained in it. The encryption key does not echo and must be entered every time the vnode disk is configured. .Bd -literal -offset indent # vnconfig -k svnd0 /tmp/cryptimg Encryption key: # mount /dev/svnd0c /mnt .Ed .Pp Same as above, but now configure the vnode using PKCS #5 PBKDF2 and a salt file with 20000 rounds: .Bd -literal -offset indent # vnconfig -K 20000 svnd0 /tmp/cryptimg Encryption key: Salt file: /tmp/cryptsalt # mount /dev/svnd0c /mnt .Ed .Pp Unmount the file system and unconfigure the vnode device: .Bd -literal -offset indent # umount /mnt # vnconfig -u svnd0 .Ed .Pp Some possible vnd configurations for .Pa /etc/fstab are listed below. .Pp For lines with type .Dq ffs , the .Dq noauto option must be set to prevent a .Xr mount 8 of the FFS partitions before the necessary vnd devices are configured. Also, the .Dq fs_passno field has to be set to 0 to prevent .Xr fsck 8 from checking the file system for the same reasons. .Bd -literal -offset indent /home/img0 /dev/svnd0c vnd rw,noauto 0 0 /dev/svnd0a /home/mnt0 ffs rw,noauto,sync 0 0 /home/img1 /dev/svnd1c vnd rw,noauto,-k 0 0 /dev/svnd1a /home/mnt1 ffs rw,sync,noauto,nodev,nosuid 0 0 /home/img2 /dev/svnd2c vnd rw,noauto,-K=20000 0 0 /dev/svnd2a /home/mnt2 ffs rw,sync,noauto,nodev,nosuid 0 0 /home/img3 /dev/svnd3c vnd rw,noauto,-K=20000,-S=/home/img3.salt 0 0 /dev/svnd3a /home/mnt3 ffs rw,noauto 0 0 /dev/svnd3d /home/mnt4 ffs rw,noauto 0 0 /dev/svnd3e /home/mnt5 ffs rw,noauto 0 0 .Ed .Pp A sample of commands to put in .Xr rc.local 8 in order to have vnd images configured at boot time is listed here: .Bd -literal -offset indent # Example for automatically configuring a vnd device on startup echo "configuring vnd devices:" mount /dev/svnd0c fsck -p /dev/svnd0a mount /mnt/svnd0a .Ed .Pp Mounting images during the first pass of .Xr fsck 8 and .Xr mount 8 is not possible, because the image to be configured to a vnd itself resides on a file system that first has to be checked and mounted. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr vnd 4 , .Xr fstab 5 , .Xr mount 8 , .Xr swapon 8 , .Xr umount 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm command first appeared in .Ox 4.2 . .Sh AUTHORS .An David Krause .
