.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.I Disksim
|
||
|
|
presents an in-memory disk in the manner of the
|
||
|
|
.IR sd (3)
|
||
|
|
device on
|
||
|
|
.IB mtpt / diskname
|
||
|
|
(default
|
||
|
|
.BR /dev/sdXX ).
|
||
|
|
The disk is initialized to zeros;
|
||
|
|
non-zeroed blocks written to the disk are kept in memory.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
When setting disk geometry with the
|
||
|
|
.B geometry
|
||
|
|
control message,
|
||
|
|
the arguments are
|
||
|
|
sectors, sector size, cylinders, heads, and sectors per track.
|
||
|
|
The last three may be zero for LBA disk simulations,
|
||
|
|
but must be present.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.B -f
|
||
|
|
option causes
|
||
|
|
.I disksim
|
||
|
|
to use
|
||
|
|
.I file
|
||
|
|
as the initial contents of the disk rather than a zeroed image.
|
||
|
|
Changes made to the disk are written back to
|
||
|
|
.I file
|
||
|
|
unless the
|
||
|
|
.B -r
|
||
|
|
option is given.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.B -s
|
||
|
|
option causes
|
||
|
|
.I disksim
|
||
|
|
to post its 9P service at
|
||
|
|
.BI /srv/ service \fR.
|
||
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
||
|
|
.I Disksim
|
||
|
|
can be used to test programs such as
|
||
|
|
.I fdisk
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.IR prep (8)
|
||
|
|
that expect
|
||
|
|
.IR sd (3)
|
||
|
|
disks:

.PP
|
||
|
|
.I Disksim
|
||
|
|
is useful for creating very large but mostly zeroed files
|
||
|
|
for testing other programs.
