NAME

mount - mount remote resources

SYNOPSIS

mount [-F rfs] [-o nocaching][,ro|rw]  [,suid|nosuid]  [-cr]
resource directory

DESCRIPTION

The mount command makes a remote resource available to users from the mount point directory. The command adds an entry to the table of mounted devices, /etc/mnttab. If multiple transport providers are installed and administrators attempt to mount a resource over them, the transport providers should be specified as network IDs in the /etc/netconfig file. The NETPATH environment variable can be used to specify the sequence of transport providers mount will use to attempt a connection to a server machine (NETPATH=tcp:starlan). If only one transport provider is installed and /etc/netconfig has not been set up, all resources will be mounted over this transport provider by default. The following options are available:

-o suboption

     nocaching      Disable client caching.

     [rw|ro]        resource   is   to    be    mounted
                    read/write   or   read-only.    The
                    default is read/write.

     [suid|nosuid]  set-uid bits are to  be  obeyed  or
                    ignored,  respectively,  on  execu-
                    tion. The default is nosuid.

-c Disable client caching. This is the same as -o nocaching.

-r resource is to be mounted read-only. If the resource is write-protected, this flag, or the -o ro flag, must be used.
