NAME

mount_s5fs − mount s5 file systems

SYNOPSIS

mount −F s5fs [ generic_options ] [ −o FSType-specific_options ] { special| mount_point }
mount −F s5fs [ generic_options ] [ −o FSType-specific_options ] special mount_point

DESCRIPTION

mount attaches a s5 file system to the file system hierarchy at the mount_point, which is the pathname of a directory. If mount_point has any contents prior to the mount operation, these are hidden until the file system is unmounted. 

If mount is invoked with special or mount_point as the only arguments, mount will search /etc/vfstab to fill in the missing arguments, including the FSType-specific_options. See mount(1M). 

If special and mount_point are specified without any FSType-specific_options, the default is rw. 

OPTIONS

See mount(1M) for the list of supported generic options.

−o Specify s5 file system specific options in a comma-separated list with no intervening spaces.  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. 

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. 

FILES

/etc/mnttab table of mounted file systems

/etc/vfstab list of default parameters for each file system

SEE ALSO

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.
