MOUNT(1)							      MOUNT(1)

NAME
       mount - mount a file system

SYNOPSIS
       mount [-r] [-t type] [-o options] special file

OPTIONS
       -a   # All file systems in /etc/fstab except  are mounted. File systems
	    marked 'noauto' are skipped

       -r   # File system is mounted read-only

       -t   # File system type

       -n   # Don't update mtab

       -o   # Options passed to FS server

EXAMPLES
       mount /dev/fd1 /user
			   # Mount diskette 1 on /user

       mount -t procfs none /proc
			   # Mount proc file system on /proc

       mount -a		   # Mount  all	 file  systems	listed	in  /etc/fstab
			   except .

DESCRIPTION
       The  file  system  contained  on the special file special is mounted on
       file. If the value of "none" is given for special, the file  system  is
       mounted	without	 a  block  special device underneath it.  In the first
       example above, the root directory of the file system in drive 1 can  be
       accessed	 as  /user after the mount.  When the file system is no longer
       needed, it must be unmounted before being removed from the drive.

       The -t parameter may be used to mount a file system  of	a  type	 other
       than  the default.  The -o flag may be used to pass options to the file
       system server.  The interpretation  of  these  options  is  up  to  the
       server.

       If  mount  is invoked without any parameters, it will print the list of
       currently mounted file systems according to mtab(5).
