rump_ext2fs [options] special node
In case mounting a file system image from a regular file, rump_ext2fs does not require the use of vnconfig(8) unlike kernel file systems. Instead, the image path can be directly passed as the special file path. The exception is if the image contains a disklabel. In this case vnconfig is required to resolve the start offset for the correct partition within the image.
It is recommended that untrusted file system images be mounted with rump_ext2fs instead of mount_ext2fs(8). Corrupt file system images commonly cause the file system to crash the entire kernel, but with rump_ext2fs only the userspace server process will dump core.
To use rump_ext2fs via mount(8), the flags -o rump and -t ext2fs should be given. Similarly, rump_ext2fs is run instead of mount_ext2fs(8) if ``rump'' is added to the options field of fstab(5).
Please see mount_ext2fs(8) for a full description of the available command line options.
