mount_pcfs(1M)

NAME

     mount_pcfs - mount pcfs file systems

SYNOPSIS

     mount -F pcfs [generic_options] [-o FSType-specific_options]
     special | mount_point

     mount -F pcfs [generic_options] [-o FSType-specific_options]
     special mount_point

DESCRIPTION

     mount attaches an  MS-DOS file system  (pcfs)  to  the  file
     system  hierarchy  at the mount_point, which is the pathname
     of a directory. If mount_point has any contents prior to the
     mount  operation,  these are hidden until the file system is
     unmounted.

     If  mount is invoked with  special or   mount_point  as  the
     only  arguments,   mount will search  /etc/vfstab to fill in
     the    missing    arguments,    including    the     FSType-
     specific_options; see mount(1M) for more details.

     The  special argument can be one of two special device  file
     types:

        o  A   floppy   disk,   such   as    /dev/diskette0    or
           /dev/diskette1.

        o  A DOS logical  drive  on  a  hard  disk  expressed  as
           device-name:logical-drive  ,  where device-name speci-
           fies the special block device-file for the whole  disk
           and  logical-drive is either a drive letter (c through
           z) or a drive number  (1  through  24).  Examples  are
           /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:c and /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:1.

     The  special device file type must have a  formatted  MS-DOS
     file  system  with  either  a 12-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit File
     Allocation Table.

OPTIONS

     generic_options
           See  mount(1M) for the list of supported options.

     -o    Specify  pcfs file system specific options.  The  fol-
           lowing options are available:

           rw|ro Mount the file system read/write  or  read-only.
                 The default is  rw.

           foldcase|nofoldcase
                 Force  uppercase  characters  in  filenames   to
                 lowercase when reading them from the filesystem.
                 This is  for  compatibility  with  the  previous
                 behavior of  pcfs. The default is  nofoldcase.

FILES

     /etc/mnttab
           table of mounted file systems

     /etc/vfstab
           list of default parameters for each file system

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.
