mount_msdos(1M)  SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION COMMANDS   mount_msdos(1M)



NAME
     mount (msdos) - mount an msdos file system

SYNOPSIS
     mount    [-F    msdos]    [generic_options]     [-r]     [-o
     specific_options]  {special  | mount_point} mount [-F msdos]
     [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 msdos block  spe-
     cial  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 msdos  Specify an msdos FSType.

     -r        Mount the file system read-only.

     -o        Specify msdos-specific suboptions.  The suboptions
               are:

               rw | ro   Read/write or read-only. Default is rw.

     Only a privileged user can mount file systems.

FILES
     /etc/mnttab      mount table
