29.Dt GEOM_UZIP 4
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm geom_uzip
33.Nd "GEOM based compressed disk images and partitions"
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35To compile this driver into the kernel,
36place the following line in your
37kernel configuration file:
38.Bd -ragged -offset indent
39.Cd "device xz"
40.Cd "options GEOM_UZIP"
41.Ed
42.Pp
43Alternatively, to load the driver as a
44module at boot time, place the following line in
45.Xr loader.conf 5 :
46.Bd -literal -offset indent
47geom_uzip_load="YES"
48.Ed
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Nm
52framework provides support for compressed read-only
53disk images.
54This allows significant storage savings at the expense of
55a some CPU time on each read.
56Data written in the GEOM label area allows
57.Nm
58to detect compressed images which have been created with
59.Xr mkuzip 8
60and presented to the kernel as a logical disk device via
61.Xr md 4 .
62.Nm
63creates a unique
64.Pa md#.uzip
65device for each image.
66.Pp
67.Nm
68is not limited to supporting only
69.Xr md 4
70images.
71The image can also reside on a block device.
72.Pq For example, a disk, USB flash drive,  DVD-ROM, etc.
73The appropriate device node will appear with the
74.Pa .uzip
75suffix.

103The
104.Nm
105device is subsequently used by
106.Fx
107kernel to access the uncompressed data.
108The
109.Nm
110driver does not allow write operations to the underlying disk image.

148Several flags are provided for tracing
149.Nm
150I/O operations and TOC parsing via the following sysctls.

152.It Va kern.geom.uzip.debug
153Log level.
154Zero disables logging.
155Higher values enable more verbose debug logging for
156.Nm .
157Supported levels are from 0 (no logging) to 4 (maximum amount of logging).
158.It Va kern.geom.uzip.debug_block
159Log operations involving compressed cluster number.
