lnfs \- long name file system

.SH SYNOPSIS

.B -r

|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Lnfs
|
|
starts a process that mounts itself (see
|
|
.IR bind (2))
|
|
on
|
|
.IR mountpoint .
|
|
It presents a filtered view of the files under the mount
|
|
point, allowing users to use long file names
|
|
on file servers that do not support file names
|
|
longer than 27 bytes.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The names used in the underlying file system are
|
|
the base32 encoding of the md5 hash of the longer
|
|
file name. The user need not know the mapping
|
|
since
|
|
.I lnfs
|
|
does all the work.
|
|
.I Lnfs
|
|
maintains a file
|
|
.B .longnames
|
|
in the directory
|
|
.I mountpoint
|
|
to record the long file names.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The options are:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -r
|
|
allow only read access to the file system
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -s
|
|
provide a service name,
|
|
.IR srvname ,
|
|
to post in
|
|
.BR /srv .
|
|
Without this option, no posting is performed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Unlnfs
|
|
renames files with shortened names to their actual long names.
|
|
It is useful once you have moved to a file server with true long name support.

.SH BUGS
|
|
This exists only to shame us into getting a real long
|
|
name file server working.
