mount(8ufs)
NAME
mount − mount the local ULTRIX File System (UFS)
SYNTAX
/etc/mount [ −r −v −o options ] special name
DESCRIPTION
The mount(8ufs) command announces to the system that a file system is present on the device special. Special must be a local device. The file name must already exist and it must be a directory. It becomes the name of the newly mounted file system.
If invoked with −r, the device special is mounted on name read-only.
To further protect from system crashes, only file systems that have been cleanly checked by fsck(8) are mounted. In emergency situations, this can be overridden by the force option as shown below.
Options may be specified to the file system using the −o flag as follows:
nosuid Setuid and setgid programs may not be executed from this file system.
nodev Block and character special devices cannot be accessed from this file system.
noexec Binaries cannot be executed from this file system.
pgthresh=##
Set the paging threshold for this file system in kilobytes.
force Root may force the mounting of non-clean file systems.
Physically write-protected disks and magnetic tape file systems must be mounted read-only or an error will occur at mount time. You should use the force flag only in single user mode when repairing or recovering damaged file systems.
EXAMPLES
The mount 8ufs command calls ufs_mount to do its work. A sample mount command is:
# mount −t ufs −o nodev,nosuid,noexec,pgthresh=100 /dev/ra0g /usr
RESTRICTIONS
The /etc/ufs_mount command should only be invoked by the mount(8ufs) command. Users (and superusers) should not invoke the ufs_mount command.
