NAME

mountu, umountu − mount and dismount file systems for ordinary user

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sony/bin/mountu [ −t type ] [ −o options ] filesystem directory
/usr/sony/bin/mountu [ −t type ] [ −o options ] { filesystem | directory } /usr/sony/bin/umountu { filesystem | directory } ...

DESCRIPTION

mountu is a subset of mount(8) which can be used by the ordinary user.  It appends the file system specified by filesystem to the path name location specified by directory.  The directory must already be present.  If directory has any contents prior to the mount operation, these remain hidden until the filesystem is once again unmounted.  This command differs from mount(8) in the following particulars. 

Device
The device must be a floppy disk drive, MO disk drive or CD-ROM drive.

File system type
The allowable file system types are 4.3 and pcfs in the case of floppy and MO disk drives, and cdfs in the case of CD-ROM drives. 

Directory
The directory where is file system is to be mounted must be user-writable. Allowable directories are limited to those with no active sticky bit.

Options
The suid option is not allowed. umountu is a subset of umount(8) which can be used by the ordinary user.  It is used to remove the presently mounted file system from a directory or filesystem. It differs from umount(8) in the following particulars. 

Device
The device must be a floppy disk drive, MO disk drive or CD-ROM drive.

File system type
Only the above types of devices can be unmounted.

EXAMPLES

To mount a NEWS-OS floppy disk drive:
mountu /dev/fd00a /fd

To mount a MS-DOS 720K byte floppy disk drive:
mountu -t pcfs /dev/fd01a /fd

To mount a CD-ROM drive:
mountu −t cdfs /dev/sd06c /cdrom
