mount(1M)                          (UFS)                          mount(1M)


   NAME
         mount (ufs) - mount ufs file systems

   SYNOPSIS
         mount [-F ufs] [generic_options] [-r] [-o specific_options] {
         special|mount_point }
         mount [-F ufs] [generic_options] [-r] [-o specific_options] special
         mount_point

   DESCRIPTION
         mount attaches a ufs file system to the file system hierarchy at the
         pathname location mount_point, which must already exist.  If
         mount_point has any contents prior to the mount operation, these
         remain hidden until the file system is once again unmounted.

         The options are:

         -F ufs
               Specifies the ufs-FSType.

         -r    Mount the file system read-only.

         -o    Specify ufs file system specific options. If invalid options
               are specified, a warning message is printed and the invalid
               options are ignored.  The following options are available:

               f     Fake an /etc/mnttab entry, but do not actually mount any
                     file systems.  Parameters are not verified.

               n     Mount the file system without making an entry in
                     /etc/mnttab.

               rw|ro Read/write or read-only.  Default is rw.

               nosuid
                     By default the file system is mounted with setuid
                     execution allowed.  Specifying nosuid overrides the
                     default and causes the file system to be mounted with
                     setuid execution disallowed.

               remount
                     Used in conjunction with rw. A file system mounted read-
                     only can be remounted read-write. Fails if the file
                     system is not currently mounted or if the file system is
                     mounted rw.

   NOTES
         If the directory on which a file system is to be mounted is a
         symbolic link, the file system is mounted on the directory to which
         the symbolic link refers, rather than on top of the symbolic link
         itself.
