Ori File System FUSE Driver

## NAME

orifs - Ori File System FUSE Driver

## SYNOPSIS

**orifs** \[*OPTIONS*...\] *MOUNTPOINT*

## DESCRIPTION

orifs is the FUSE driver for the Ori distributed file system.

Currently, orifs is crash consistent up until the last snapshot. Users should  run **ori snapshot** to guarantee data is saved persistently.  When  recovering from a crash the tool reports an error message explaining where  unsaved data is located and how it may be recovered.  You can destroy the  unsaved data by using the **ori cleanup** command.  In future releases this  bug will addressed.

## OPTIONS

- **--repo=\[***FS-NAME*\]

  Specify the path to the underlying repository.  This parameter is optional and  by default orifs will search for a file system with the same name as the mount  point.

- **--clone=\[***REMOTEPATH*\]

  Replicate the file system from the specified repository.

- **--shallow**

  Used in conjunction with --clone to specify a shallow replica of the remote  repository.

- **--nocache**

  Used in conjunction with --clone to specify a non-caching replica of the remote  repository.

- **--no-threads**

  Disable multithreading on FUSE.

- **--debug**

  Enable debugging mode with verbose output.  The file system will run much  slower, but is useful for reporting crashes.

## SUPPORTED COMMANDS

The file system can be controlled by the command line interface.  Running  commands from anywhere inside the mounted file system should allow the command  line to detect and communicate with the file system.  Not all commands are  supported on a running file system, and some hidden commands for debugging or  are not recommended.  Additional commands will be added in future releases.
