By specifying an absolute path for the 7 configuration file, it can be re-parsed by sending a HUP to the 8 mount process. But since mount_portal calls daemon(), which 9 does a chdir("/"), the re-parse will fail unless the 10 specified file is absolute, not relative. 11 12 2. The mount point should always be specified as an absolute 13 path. Otherwise, umount may not be able to unmount it, as it 14 first converts a relative path to an absolute path before 15 checking against the mounted file systems (see 16 realpath(3)). If you mistakenly mount on portal, instead of 17 `pwd`/portal, you can umount with "umount -R portal", which 18 may seg fault, but it will umount. 19 20Descriptions of files in this directory: 21 22 *.conf Configuration files for the corresponding file 23 tcp.1 Simple and advanced tcp: daytime and finger 24 fing.c Program for tcp.1 25 fs.1 Simple fs 26 rfilter.1 Simple rfilter usage: bunzip2/bzcat 27 rfilter.2 Advanced rfilter usage 28 advanced.1 A tutorial 29 cvs.1 How to map a cvs server into your local file system 30 cvs.pl A perl script that does the work for the cvs configuration 31 32In progress: 33 wfilter.1 Simple wfilter usage: bzip2 34 35Most (if not all) of these examples were written by Brian Grayson 36(bgrayson@NetBSD.org).
