|
|
.Op Fl t Ar type
|
|
.Ar special node
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command invokes a file system-specific program to prepare and graft the
|
|
.Ar special
|
|
device or remote node (rhost:path) on to the file system tree at the point
|
|
.Ar node .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If either
|
|
.Ar special
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar node
|
|
are not provided, the appropriate information is taken from the
|
|
.Xr fstab 5
|
|
file.
|
|
The provided argument is looked up first in the
|
|
.Dq fs_file ,
|
|
then in the
|
|
.Dq fs_spec
|
|
column.
|
|
If the matching entry in
|
|
.Xr fstab 5
|
|
has the string
|
|
.Dq Li from_mount
|
|
as its
|
|
.Dq fs_spec
|
|
field, the device or remote file system already mounted at
|
|
the location specified by
|
|
.Dq fs_spec
|
|
will be used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If both
|
|
.Ar special
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar node
|
|
are given, the disklabel is checked for the file system type.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In
|
|
.Nx ,
|
|
a file system can only be mounted by an ordinary user who owns the
|
|
point
|
|
.Ar node
|
|
and has access to the
|
|
.Ar special
|
|
device (at least read permissions).
|
|
Also, the
|
|
.Em vfs.generic.usermount
|
|
.Xr sysctl 3
|
|
must be set to 1 to permit file system mounting by ordinary users,
|
|
see
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8 .
|
|
Finally, the flags
|
|
.Cm nosuid
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm nodev
|
|
must be given for non-superuser mounts.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The system maintains a list of currently mounted file systems.
|
|
If no arguments are given to
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
this list is printed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl A
|
|
Causes
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to try to mount all of the file systems listed in the
|
|
.Xr fstab 5
|
|
file except those for which the
|
|
.Dq noauto
|
|
option is specified.
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Similar to the
|
|
.Fl A
|
|
flag, except that if a file system (other than the root file system)
|
|
appears to be already mounted,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will not try to mount it again.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
assumes that a file system is already mounted if a file system with
|
|
the same type is mounted on the given mount point.
|
|
More stringent checks are not possible because some file system types
|
|
report strange values for the mounted-from device for mounted file
|
|
systems.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Causes everything to be done except for the invocation of
|
|
the file system-specific program.
|
|
This option is useful in conjunction with the
|
|
.Fl v
|
|
flag to determine what the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command is trying to do.
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Forces the revocation of write access when trying to downgrade
|
|
a file system mount status from read-write to read-only.
|
|
.It Fl o
|
|
Options are specified with a
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
flag followed by a comma separated string of options.
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width nocoredump
|
|
.It Cm async
|
|
All
|
|
.Tn I/O
|
|
to the file system should be done asynchronously.
|
|
In the event of a crash,
|
|
.Em "it is impossible for the system to verify the integrity of data on a file system mounted with this option" .
|
|
You should only use this option if you have an application-specific data
|
|
recovery mechanism, or are willing to recreate the file system from scratch.
|
|
.It Cm noasync
|
|
Clear
|
|
.Cm async
|
|
mode.
|
|
.It Cm force
|
|
The same as
|
|
.Fl f ;
|
|
forces the revocation of write access when trying to downgrade
|
|
a file system mount status from read-write to read-only.
|
|
.It Cm getargs
|
|
Retrieves the file system specific mount arguments for the given
|
|
mounted file system and prints them.
|
|
.It Cm hidden
|
|
By setting the
|
|
.Dv MNT_IGNORE
|
|
flag,
|
|
causes the mount point to be excluded from the
|
|
list of file systems shown by default with
|
|
.Xr df 1 .
|
|
.It Cm noatime
|
|
Never update the access time field for files.
|
|
This option is useful for optimizing read performance on file systems
|
|
that are used as news spools.
|
|
.It Cm noauto
|
|
This file system should be skipped when mount is run with the
|
|
.Fl a
|
|
flag.
|
|
.It Cm nocoredump
|
|
Do not allow programs to create crash dumps (core files) on the file system.
|
|
This option can be used to help protect sensitive
|
|
data by keeping core files (which may contain sensitive data)
|
|
from being created on insecure file systems.
|
|
Only core files that would be created by program crashes are
|
|
prevented by use of this flag; the behavior of
|
|
.Xr savecore 8
|
|
is not affected.
|
|
.It Cm nodev
|
|
Do not interpret character or block special devices on the file system.
|
|
This option is useful for a server that has file systems containing
|
|
special devices for architectures other than its own.
|
|
.It Cm nodevmtime
|
|
Do not update modification times on device special files.
|
|
This option is useful on laptops
|
|
or other systems that perform power management.
|
|
.It Cm noexec
|
|
Do not allow execution of any binaries on the mounted file system.
|
|
This option is useful for a server that has file systems containing
|
|
binaries for architectures other than its own.
|
|
.It Cm nosuid
|
|
Do not allow set-user-identifier or set-group-identifier bits to take effect.
|
|
.It Cm port
|
|
(NFS only) Use the specified NFS port.
|
|
.It Cm rdonly
|
|
The same as
|
|
.Fl r ;
|
|
mount the file system read-only (even the super-user may not write it).
|
|
.It Cm reload
|
|
Reload all incore data for a file system.
|
|
This is used mainly after running
|
|
.Xr fsck 8
|
|
on the root file system and finding things to fix.
|
|
The file system must be mounted read-only.
|
|
All cached meta-data are invalidated, superblock and summary information
|
|
is re-read from disk, all cached inactive vnodes and file data are
|
|
invalidated and all inode data are re-read for all active vnodes.
|
|
.It Cm softdep
|
|
(FFS only) Mount the file system using soft dependencies.
|
|
This means that metadata will not be written immediately,
|
|
but is written in an ordered fashion to keep the
|
|
on-disk state of the file system consistent.
|
|
This results in significant speedups for file create/delete operations.
|
|
This option will be ignored when using the
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
flag and a file system is already mounted read/write.
|
|
This option has gone through moderate to heavy testing,
|
|
but should still be used with care.
|
|
A file system mounted with
|
|
.Cm softdep
|
|
can not be mounted with
|
|
.Cm async
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm log .
|
|
It requires the
|
|
.Dv SOFTDEP
|
|
option to be enabled in the running kernel.
|
|
.It Cm log
|
|
(FFS only with UFS2 superblock layout)
|
|
Mount the file system with
|
|
.Xr wapbl 4
|
|
meta-data journaling.
|
|
It provides rapid file system consistency checking after a system outage.
|
|
It also provides better general-use performance over regular FFS similar to
|
|
.Cm softdep .
|
|
This option has gone through moderate testing, but still should be considered
|
|
experimental.
|
|
A file system mounted with
|
|
.Cm log
|
|
can not be mounted with
|
|
.Cm async
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm softdep .
|
|
It requires the
|
|
.Dv WAPBL
|
|
option to be enabled in the running kernel.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr wapbl 4
|
|
for more information.
|
|
.It Cm symperm
|
|
Recognize permission of symbolic link when reading or traversing link.
|
|
.It Cm sync
|
|
All
|
|
.Tn I/O
|
|
to the file system should be done synchronously.
|
|
This is not equivalent to the normal mode in which only
|
|
metadata is written synchronously.
|
|
.It Cm nosync
|
|
Clear
|
|
.Cm sync
|
|
mode.
|
|
.It Cm union
|
|
Causes the namespace at the mount point to appear as the union
|
|
of the mounted file system root and the existing directory.
|
|
Lookups will be done in the mounted file system first.
|
|
If those operations fail due to a non-existent file the underlying
|
|
directory is then accessed.
|
|
All creates are done in the mounted file system, except for the fdesc
|
|
file system.
|
|
.It Cm update
|
|
The same as
|
|
.Fl u ;
|
|
indicate that the status of an already mounted file system should be changed.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Any additional options specific to a given file system type (see the
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
option) may be passed as a comma separated list; these options are
|
|
distinguished by a leading
|
|
.Dq \&-
|
|
(dash).
|
|
Options that take a value are specified using the syntax -option=value.
|
|
For example, the mount command:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
mount -t mfs -o nosuid,-N,-s=32m swap /tmp
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
causes
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to execute the equivalent of:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
/sbin/mount_mfs -o nosuid -N -s 32m swap /tmp
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
The file system is to be mounted read-only.
|
|
Mount the file system read-only (even the super-user may not write it).
|
|
The same as the
|
|
.Dq rdonly
|
|
argument to the
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Fl t Ar type
|
|
The argument following the
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
is used to indicate the file system type.
|
|
The type
|
|
.Ar ffs
|
|
is the default.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
option can be used to indicate that the actions
|
|
should only be taken on file systems of the specified type.
|
|
More than one type may be specified in a comma separated list.
|
|
The list of file system types can be prefixed with
|
|
.Dq no
|
|
to specify the file system types for which action should
|
|
.Em not
|
|
be taken.
|
|
For example, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
mount -a -t nonfs,mfs
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
mounts all file systems except those of type
|
|
.Tn NFS
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn MFS .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will attempt to execute a program in
|
|
.Pa /sbin/mount_ Ns Em XXX
|
|
where
|
|
.Em XXX
|
|
is replaced by the type name.
|
|
For example, nfs file systems are mounted by the program
|
|
.Pa /sbin/mount_nfs .
|
|
.It Fl u
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
flag indicates that the status of an already mounted file
|
|
system should be changed.
|
|
Any of the options discussed above (the
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
option)
|
|
may be changed;
|
|
also a file system can be changed from read-only to read-write
|
|
or vice versa.
|
|
An attempt to change from read-write to read-only will fail if any
|
|
files on the file system are currently open for writing unless the
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
flag is also specified.
|
|
The set of options is determined by first extracting the options
|
|
for the file system from the
|
|
.Xr fstab 5
|
|
file, then applying any options specified by the
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
argument,
|
|
and finally applying the
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl w
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Verbose mode.
|
|
If this flag is specified more than once, then the
|
|
file system-specific mount arguments are printed for the given mounted
|
|
file system.
|
|
.It Fl w
|
|
The file system object is to be read and write.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options specific to the various file system types are
|
|
described in the manual pages for those file systems'
|
|
.Nm mount_XXX
|
|
commands.
|
|
For instance the options specific to Berkeley
|
|
Fast File System (FFS) are described in the
|
|
.Xr mount_ffs 8
|
|
manual page.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The particular type of file system in each partition of a disk can
|
|
be found by examining the disk label with the
|
|
.Xr disklabel 8
|
|
command.

|
|
.It Tn CD-ROM
|

.br
|
|

|
|
.br
|
|
mount -t mfs -o nosuid,-s=32m swap /tmp
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq noauto
|
|
directive in
|
|
.Pa /etc/fstab
|
|
can be used to make it easy to manually mount and unmount removable
|
|
media using just the mountpoint filename, with an entry like this:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl /dev/cd0a /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
|
|
.Pp
|
|
That would allow a simple command like
|
|
.Qq mount /cdrom
|
|
or
|
|
.Qq umount /cdrom
|
|
for media using the
|
|
.Tn ISO-9660
|
|
file system format in the first
|
|
.Tn CD-ROM
|
|
drive.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
The error
|
|
.Dq Operation not supported by device
|
|
indicates that the mount for the specified file-system type cannot be
|
|
completed because the kernel lacks support for the said file-system.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr options 4 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The error
|
|
.Dq Operation not permitted
|
|
may indicate that the mount options include privileged options and/or
|
|
don't include options that exclude privileged options.
|
|
One should try using at least
|
|
.Dq nodev
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq nosuid
|
|
in such cases:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
mount -t cd9660 -o nodev,nosuid /dev/cd0a /mnt
