.Nm mount_msdos
|
|
|
|
|
command attaches the MS-DOS filesystem residing on
|
|
|
|
|
the device
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa special
|
|
|
|
|
to the global filesystem namespace at the location

The
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm msdos
|
1993-07-30 05:31:48 +04:00
|
|
|
filesystem is not known to work reliably with filesystems created by versions
|
|
|
|
|
of MS-DOS later than version 3.3.

|
|
.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 .
