NAME

mount − mount remote resources

SYNOPSIS

mount [−F rfs] [−o suboption] [−cr] resource directory

DESCRIPTION

The mount command makes a remote resource available to users from the mount point directory.  The command adds an entry to the table of mounted devices, /etc/mnttab. 

If multiple transport providers are installed and administrators attempt to mount a resource over them, the transport providers should be specified as network IDs in the /etc/netconfig file.  The NETPATH environment variable can be used to specify the sequence of transport providers mount will use to attempt a connection to a server machine (NETPATH=tcp:starlan).  If only one transport provider is installed and /etc/netconfig has not been set up, all resources will be mounted over this transport provider by default. 

The following options are available:

−o suboption

nocachingDisable client caching. 

[rw|ro]resource is to be mounted read/write or read-only.  The default is read/write. 

[suid|nosuid]set-uid bits are to be obeyed or ignored, respectively, on execution. The default is nosuid. 

−c Disable client caching.  This is the same as −o nocaching. 

−r resource is to be mounted read-only.  If the resource is write-protected, this flag, or the −o ro flag,  must be used.
