It will associate (or disassociate) the special file .Ar rawdev with the regular file .Ar regular_file , 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 regular_file is being read from, to ensure consistency in the buffer cache. For normal operation this is not necessary. .Pp The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl c Configures the device. If successful, references to .Ar rawdev will access the contents of .Ar regular_file . 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. These are combined according to PKCS #5 PBKDF2 for the specified number of rounds to generate the actual key used. 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 List the (s)vnd devices and indicate which ones are in use. If a specific .Ar rawdev is given, then only that one will be described. .It Fl u Unconfigures a .Ar rawdev . .It Fl v 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 Unmount the file system and unconfigure the vnode device: .Bd -literal -offset indent # umount /mnt # vnconfig -u svnd0 .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr vnd 4 , .Xr mount 8 , .Xr swapon 8 , .Xr umount 8 .Sh BUGS This command should really be named .Nm vndconfig .
