mount(1M_UFS)                  (UFS)                   mount(1M_UFS)


       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
             generic_options are options supported by the generic mount
             command.  mount attaches a ufs file system, referenced by
             special, to the file system hierarchy 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 the ufs file system specific options in a comma-
                  separated list.  If invalid options are specified, a
                  warning message is printed and the invalid options are
                  ignored.  Multiple file system-specific options may be
                  listed in any order, but must be separated by commas.
                  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.

                 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.

      mount(1M_UFS)                  (UFS)                   mount(1M_UFS)


                        Fails if the file system is not currently mounted
                        or if the file system is mounted rw.

                soft   Specifies that writes need not be written out to
                        disk until the filesystem is about to be
                        unmounted. This volatility can improve system
                        throughput as much as eight percent when the
                        temporary directories (for example, /tmp and
                        /var/tmp) are mounted this way.

      NOTICES
            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.
