NAME

filesystems.lst - keep track of which filesystems are local/remote, and where to find them


DESCRIPTION

filesystems.lst is the file used to keep track of which filesystem tarballs are stored locally, which are stored remotely, and where to get them when when they are needed.

This file is used by the newdisk utility to create new xen guest slices.

An entry in filesystems.lst takes the form:

        distribution local? location

For example, a Debian Woody tarball stored locally might look like this:

        woody yes /path/to/DebianWoody.tar.bz2

A FreeBSD tarball stored remotely at http://server.com/path/to/FreeBSD.tar.bz2 would look like this:

        freebsd no http://server.com/path/to/FreeBSD.tar.bz2

After entering an entry for a remote tarball, when it is downloaded by newdisk, the list is automatically updated.
