NAME
       mount_lofs: mount, umount - mount and unmount LOFS file systems

SYNOPSIS

       specific_options] {special_directory|directory}

       specific_options] special_directory directory

       {special_directory|directory}

DESCRIPTION
       The  command  mounts  LOFS file systems.	 Only superuser can mount LOFS
       file systems.  Other users can use to list mounted file systems.

       attaches special_directory, a directory from one of  the	 mounted  file
       systems,	 to directory, an another directory in one of the mounted file
       systems.	 This enables new file systems to be  created,	which  provide
       access  to  existing  directories  or file systems using alternate path
       names.  Both special_directory  and  directory  should  already	exist.
       directory  will	become the root of the newly mounted LOFS file system,
       containing the file system  hierarchy  under  special_directory.	  spe‐
       cial_directory  and directory must be specified as absolute path names.
       If either special_directory or directory is omitted, attempts to deter‐
       mine  the  missing  value from an entry in the file.  can be invoked on
       any removable file system, except

       If is invoked without any arguments, it lists all the mounted file sys‐
       tems from the file system mount table,

       The  command  unmounts  mounted	file  systems.	 Only  a superuser can
       unmount file systems.

   Options (mount)
       recognizes the following options:

	      Attempt to mount all file systems described in
			     All optional fields in must be included and  sup‐
			     ported.   If  is specified, all LOFS file systems
			     in are mounted.  If is specified  in  an  entry's
			     option list, this entry is skipped.  File systems
			     are not necessarily mounted in the	 order	listed
			     in

	      Verbose mode.  Write  a  message	to  standard output indicating
			     which file system is being mounted.

	      Specify the LOFS file system type (see
			     fstyp(1M)).

	      Limit actions to local file systems only.
			     LOFS is a local file system.

	      Specify options specific to the LOFS file system type.
			     specific_options is a  list  of  comma  separated
			     suboptions	   and/or    keyword/attribute	 pairs
			     intended for the LOFS specific module of the com‐
			     mand.

			     The  following  specific_options  are valid on an
			     LOFS file system:

			     Use all default options.
					    When used, this must be  the  only
					    option specified.

			     Read-only (see below).

	      Report the list of mounted file systems in the
			     format.

	      Prevent display of error messages
			     resulting	 from  an  attempt  to	mount  already
			     mounted file systems.

	      Mount the specified file system as read-only (see
			     below).

	      Report the output in a new style.
			     The new style has the file system type and	 flags
			     displayed	in  addition  to  the old output.  The
			     directory	and   special_directory	  fields   are
			     reversed.

	      Echo the completed command line, but perform no other action.
			     The  command  line	 is generated by incorporating
			     the user-specified options and other  information
			     derived  from This option allows the user to ver‐
			     ify the command line.

   Options (umount)
       The command recognizes the following options:

	      Attempt to unmount all file systems described in
			     All optional fields in must be included and  sup‐
			     ported.   If  file	 system type is specified, all
			     the LOFS file systems  in	are  unmounted.	  File
			     systems  are  not	necessarily  unmounted	in the
			     order listed in

	      Specify the LOFS file system type (see
			     fstyp(1M)).

	      Verbose mode.  Write a message  to  standard  output  indicating
			     which file system is being unmounted.

	      Echo the completed command line, but perform no other action.
			     The  command  line	 is generated by incorporating
			     the user-specified options and other  information
			     derived  from This option allows the user to ver‐
			     ify the command line.

EXAMPLES

WARNINGS
       LOFS file systems provide the user with numerous applications; however,
       they  may be potentially confusing.  LOFS file systems should generally
       be created by an experienced user.

       For LOFS file systems which are mounted read-only,  if  the  underlying
       file  system  is mounted writable, certain write operations on the LOFS
       will succeed. Thus LOFS should not be relied upon to provide a strictly
       write-only alternative image of a read-write file system.
