JMOUNT(8)  —  Maintenance

NAME

jmount − mount optical disk jukebox file systems

SYNOPSIS

jmount [unit] [−a] [options] prefix|master

DESCRIPTION

jmount is a command script to mount all optical volumes in a jukebox at standardized points in a master directory.  unit selects the jukebox by name or number.  If master has a numeric component, that component serves as a unit number to select the jukebox in lieu of unit. Otherwise, jmount appends the number of each jukebox device node found in the /dev directory to prefix to form a master directory name for each jukebox. 

jmount interrogates the jukebox control utility jbc to determine the slot numbers of all volumes installed, creates a mount point directory for each volume named by slot number and side (a or b) in the master directory for the jukebox and mounts each volume on its corresponding directory using the optical disk file system mount utility omount. Any options not recognized by jmount are passed on as parameters to omount (see omount(8)). 

OPTIONS

−a Append — write omount parameter strings on the standard output rather than passing them to omount. This option is useful for constructing the /etc/ofstab file.
