NAME

FDMOUNT− fast-disk filesystem mounting environment variable

SYNOPSIS

setenv FDMOUNT "dev1:path1;dev2:path2;...;devn:pathn"

DESCRIPTION

If the FDMOUNT environment variable is defined, it overrides the contents of /etc/fdmount.  Each dev:path pair in the definition corresponds to one line of /etc/fdmount.  For example, if /etc/fdmount contained

/dev/rmx0b:/

/dev/rmx1b:/abc

then the analogous definition for the FDMOUNT variable would be

setenv FDMOUNT "/dev/rmx0b:/;/dev/rmx1b:/abc"

Double quote characters enclose the definition string to prevent the shell from treating the semicolon (;) character specially. 

If FDMOUNT is not present in the environment, libfd inspects the file /etc/fdmount for information about the Fast-Disk filesystem hierarchy.  If this file does not exist, libfd assumes the following:

/dev/rmx0b:/

It is anticipated that in normal usage, the /etc/fdmount file will serve the purpose adequately, and there will be no need to define the FDMOUNT environment variable.
