.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is used to build a file system in virtual memory and then mount it
|
|
on a specified node.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
exits and the contents of the file system are lost
|
|
when the file system is unmounted.
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is sent a signal while running,
|
|
for example during system shutdown,
|
|
it will attempt to unmount its
|
|
corresponding file system.
|
|
.Ar special
|
|
is ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Options with numeric arguments may contain an optional (case-insensitive)
|
|
suffix:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 3n -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It b
|
|
Bytes; causes no modification. (Default)
|
|
.It k
|
|
Kilo; multiply the argument by 1024
|
|
.It m
|
|
Mega; multiply the argument by 1048576
|
|
.It g
|
|
Giga; multiply the argument by 1073741824
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options define the general layout policies.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Fl
|
|
.It Fl N
|
|
Causes the memory file system parameters to be printed out
|
|
without really mounting the memory file system.
|
|
.It Fl a Ar maxcontig
|
|
This specifies the maximum number of contiguous blocks that will be
|
|
laid out before forcing a rotational delay (see the
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
option).
|
|
The default value is 8.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr tunefs 8
|
|
for more details on how to set this option.
|
|
.It Fl b Ar block-size
|
|
The block size of the file system, in bytes.
|
|
It must be a power of two.
|
|
The smallest allowable size is 4096 bytes.
|
|
The default size depends upon the size of the file system:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "file system size" -compact -offset indent
|
|
.It Sy "file system size"

|
.It \&\*[Gt]\&= 1024 MB
|
|
16 KB
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Fl c Ar cpg
|
|
The number of cylinders per cylinder group in a file system.
|
|
The default is to compute the maximum allowed by the other parameters.
|
|
This value is dependent on a number of other parameters, in particular
|
|
the block size and the number of bytes per inode.
|
|
.It Fl d Ar rotdelay
|
|
This specifies the expected time (in milliseconds) to service a transfer
|
|
completion interrupt and initiate a new transfer on the same disk.
|
|
The default is 0 milliseconds.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr tunefs 8
|
|
for more details on how to set this option.
|
|
.ne 1i
|
|
.It Fl e Ar maxbpg
|
|
This indicates the maximum number of blocks any single file can
|
|
allocate out of a cylinder group before it is forced to begin
|
|
allocating blocks from another cylinder group.
|
|
The default is about one quarter of the total blocks in a cylinder group.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr tunefs 8
|
|
for more details on how to set this option.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar frag-size
|
|
The fragment size of the file system in bytes.
|
|
It must be a power of two ranging in value between
|
|
.Ar block-size Ns /8
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar block-size .
|
|
The optimal
|
|
.Ar block-size Ns : Ns Ar frag-size
|
|
ratio is 8:1.
|
|
Other ratios are possible, but are not recommended,
|
|
and may produce unpredictable results.
|
|
The default size depends upon the size of the file system:
|
|

|
|
.Bl -tag -width "file system size" -compact -offset indent
|
|

|
|
.It \&\*[Gt]\&= 1024 MB
|
|
2 KB
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Fl g Ar groupname
|
|
This specifies the group name or group id of the root
|
|
inode of the file system.
|
|
.It Fl i Ar bytes-per-inode
|
|
This specifies the density of inodes in the file system.
|
|
If fewer inodes are desired, a larger number should be used;
|
|
to create more inodes a smaller number should be given.
|
|
The default is to create an inode for every
|
|
.Pq 4 * Ar frag-size
|
|
bytes of data space:
|
|

|
.Bl -tag -width "file system size" -compact -offset indent

|
.It \&\*[Gt]\&= 1024 MB
|
|
8 KB
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Fl m Ar free-space
|
|
The percentage of space reserved from normal users; the minimum free
|
|
space threshold.
|
|
The default value used is 5%.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr tunefs 8
|
|
for more details on how to set this option.
|
|
.It Fl n Ar rotational-positions
|
|
Determines how many rotational time slots there are in
|
|
one revolution of the disk.
|
|
.It Fl o
|
|
Options are specified with a
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
flag followed by a comma separated string of options.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Xr mount 8
|
|
man page for possible options and their meanings.
|
|
.It Fl p Ar permissions
|
|
This specifies the permissions of the root
|
|
inode of the file system.
|
|
.It Fl s Ar size
|
|
The size of the file system in sectors.
|
|
An
|
|
.Sq s
|
|
suffix will be interpreted as the number of sectors (the default).
|
|
All other suffixes are interpreted as per other numeric arguments,
|
|
except that the number is converted into sectors by dividing by the
|
|
sector size (as specified by
|
|
.Fl S Ar secsize )
|
|
after suffix interpretation.
|
|
.It Fl u Ar username
|
|
This specifies the user name or user id of the root
|
|
inode of the file system.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
The owner and group ids of the root node of the new file system
|
|
are set to the effective uid and gid of the user mounting
|
|
the file system.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
Mount a 32 MB mfs on /tmp:

|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl mount_mfs -s 32m swap /tmp
