NAME

mount (ufs) - mount ufs file systems

SYNOPSIS

mount [-F ufs] [generic_options] [-r] [-o  specific_options]
{ special|mount_point }
mount [-F ufs] [generic_options] [-r] [-o  specific_options]
special mount_point

DESCRIPTION

mount attaches a ufs file system to the file system hierarchy at the pathname location mount_point, which must already exist. If mount_point has any contents prior to the mount operation, these remain hidden until the file system is once again unmounted. The options are:

-F ufs

     Specifies the ufs-FSType.

-r Mount the file system read-only.

-o Specify ufs file system specific options. If invalid options are specified, a warning message is printed and the invalid options are ignored. The following options are available:

f Fake an /etc/mnttab entry, but do not actually mount any file systems. Parameters are not verified.

n Mount the file system without making an entry in /etc/mnttab.

rw|ro

     Read/write or read-only.  Default is rw.

nosuid

By default the file system is mounted with setuid execution allowed. Specifying nosuid overrides the default and causes the file system to be mounted with setuid execution disallowed.

remount

Used in conjunction with rw. A file system mounted read-only can be remounted read-write. Fails if the file system is not currently mounted or if the file system is mounted rw.

NOTES

If the directory on which a file system is to be mounted is a symbolic link, the file system is mounted on the directory to which the symbolic link refers, rather than on top of the symbolic link itself.
