NAME

mountfsys, umountfsys − mount, unmount a diskette file system

SYNOPSIS

mountfsys [ −y ] [ −r ]
umountfsys [ −y ]

DESCRIPTION

The mountfsys command mounts a file system that is on a disk so that users can read and write on it.  The options provide the following:

−r the file system is mounted read-only. 

−y suppresses any questions asked during mounting or unmounting. 

The umountfsys command unmounts the file system. 

By default, the name of the file system is displayed and the user is asked if it should be mounted.  The optional −y argument suppresses questions and mounts or unmounts the file system immediately. 

The identical functions are available under the sysadm menu:

sysadm mountfsys
sysadm umountfsys

The commands may be assigned passwords.  See sysadm(1M), the admpasswd sub-command.

WARNING

ONCE THE DISK IS MOUNTED IT MUST NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE DISK DRIVE UNTIL IT HAS BEEN UNMOUNTED!
Removing the disk while it is still mounted can cause severe damage to the data on the disk.
