Name

mount_s5fs - mount s5 file systems

Synopsis

mount -F s5fs [ generic_options ] [ -o FSType-specific_options ] special mount_point

Availability

Description

mount attaches a s5 file system (a System V file system used by PC versions of UNIX) 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

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.
