.Sh NAME

|
.Nm mount_lofs
|
|
.Nd mount a virtual copy of an existing filesystem sub-tree
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm mount_lofs
|
|
.Op Fl F Ar fsoptions
|
|
.Ar target mount-point
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm mount_lofs
|
|
command makes a sub-tree of an existing filesystem visible
|
|
in another part of the global filesystem namespace.
|
|
This allows existing files and directories to be accessed
|
|
using a different pathname.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The primary differences between a virtual copy of the filesystem
|
|
and a symbolic link are that
|
|
.Xr getcwd 3
|
|
functions correctly in the virtual copy, and that other filesystems
|
|
may be mounted on the virtual copy without affecting the original.
|
|
A different device number for the virtual copy is returned by
|
|
.Xr stat 2 ,
|
|
but in other respects it is indistinguishable from the original.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm mount_lofs
|
|
utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
