mount(1M)                      UNIX System V(s5)                      mount(1M)


NAME
      mount (s5) - mount an s5 file system

SYNOPSIS
      mount [-F s5] [generic_options] [-r] [-o specific_options] {special |
      mount_point} mount [-F s5] [generic_options] [-r] [-o specific_options]
      special  mount_point

DESCRIPTION
      generic_options are options supported by the generic mount command.

      mount notifies the system that special, an s5 block special device, is
      available to users from the mount_point which must exist before mount is
      called; it becomes the name of the root of the newly mounted special.

      The options are:

      -F s5     Specify an s5 FSType.

      -r        Mount the file system read-only.

      -o        Specify s5 file-specific options in a comma-separated list.
                The avilable options are:

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

                suid | nosuid
                          Setuid is honored or ignored on execution Default is
                          suid.
                          Note that a mount of an unprotected medium (such as a
                          floppy disk) introduces possible security risks.
                          While the use of nosuid protects against some risks,
                          it is not completely effective.  The best defense
                          against such security risks is to avoid mounting
                          unprotected media.

                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.  Option is in force only when
                          specified.

      Only a privileged user can mount file systems.
