.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
.Nm mount_msdos
|
||
|
|
.Op Fl F Ar fsoptions

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Nm mount_msdos
|
||
|
|
command attaches the MS-DOS filesystem residing on
|
||
|
|
the device
|
||
|
|
.Pa special
|
||
|
|
to the global filesystem namespace at the location
|
||
|
|
indicated by
|
||
|
|
.Pa node .
|
||
|
|
This command is normally executed by
|
||
|
|
.Xr mount 8 .
|
||
|
|
at boot time.
|
||
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO

||
|

.Xr fstab 5
|
||
|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Nm msdos
|
||
|
|
filesystem only works with MS-DOS version 3.3 filesystems.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The limitations on file names imposed by MS-DOS are strange, at best.
|
||
|
|
For instance, they are
|
||
|
|
limited to single-case, 8 character names with 3 character extensions.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
You should be able to mount an MS-DOS filesystem on a big-endian
|
||
|
|
machine. This is probably not currently possible.
|
||
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Nm mount_msdos
|
||
|
|
utility first appeared in NetBSD 0.9.
|
||
|
|
Its predecessor, the
|
||
|
|
.Nm mount_pcfs
|
||
|
|
utility appeared in NetBSD 0.8, and was abandoned in favor
|
||
|
|
of the more aptly-named
|
||
|
|
.Nm mount_msdos .
