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  hierar-
     chy 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 veri-
               fied.

          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
