mount(1M_S5) (S5) mount(1M_S5)
NAME
mount (s5) - mount an s5 file system
SYNOPSIS
mount [-F s5] [generic_options] [-r] [-o specific_options] {special | mount_point}
mount [-F s5] [generic_options] [-r] [-o specific_options] special mount_point
DESCRIPTION
generic_options are options supported by the generic mount
command.
mount notifies the system that special, an s5 block special
device, is available to users from the mount_point which must
exist before mount is called; it becomes the name of the root
of the newly mounted special.
The options are:
-F s5 Specify an s5 FSType.
-r Mount the file system read-only.
-o Specify the s5 file-specific options in a comma-
separated list. The available options are:
rw | ro Read/write or read-only. Default is rw.
suid | nosuid
Setuid is honored or ignored on execution.
Default is suid.
Note that a mount of an unprotected medium
(such as a floppy disk) introduces
possible security risks. While the use of
nosuid protects against some risks, it is
not completely effective. The best
defense against such security risks is to
avoid mounting unprotected media.
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. Option is in force only when
specified.
