MOUNT(8)                      System Administration                      MOUNT(8)



NAME
       mount - mount a filesystem

SYNOPSIS
       mount [-lhV]

       mount -a [-fFnrsvw] [-t vfstype] [-O optlist]

       mount [-fnrsvw] [-o option[,option]...]  device|dir

       mount [-fnrsvw] [-t vfstype] [-o options] device dir

DESCRIPTION
       All  files  accessible  in a Unix system are arranged in one big tree, the
       file hierarchy, rooted at /.  These files can be spread out  over  several
       devices.  The  mount command serves to attach the filesystem found on some
       device to the big file tree. Conversely, the umount(8) command will detach
       it again.

       The standard form of the mount command, is

              mount -t type device dir

       This  tells  the kernel to attach the filesystem found on device (which is
       of type type) at the directory dir.  The previous contents  (if  any)  and
       owner  and  mode  of  dir become invisible, and as long as this filesystem
       remains mounted, the pathname dir refers to the root of the filesystem  on
       device.

       If only directory or device is given, for example:

              mount /dir

       then  mount  looks  for a mountpoint and if not found then for a device in
       the /etc/fstab file.

       The listing and help.
              Three forms of invocation do not actually mount anything:

              mount -h
                     prints a help message

              mount -V
                     prints a version string

              mount [-l] [-t type]
                     lists all mounted filesystems (of type type).  The option -l
                     adds the labels in this listing.  See below.

       The device indication.
              Most  devices  are  indicated  by  a  file name (of a block special
              device), like /dev/sda1, but there  are  other  possibilities.  For
              example,  in  the  case  of  an  NFS  mount,  device  may look like
              knuth.cwi.nl:/dir.  It is possible  to  indicate  a  block  special
              device  using  its  volume LABEL or UUID (see the -L and -U options
              below).

              The recommended setup is to use LABEL=<label> or  UUID=<uuid>  tags
              rather   than   /dev/disk/by-{label,uuid}   udev  symlinks  in  the
              /etc/fstab file. The tags are more readable, robust  and  portable.
              The mount(8) command internally uses udev symlinks, so use the sym‐
              links in /etc/fstab has no advantage over LABEL=/UUID=.   For  more
              details see libblkid(3).

              Note  that  mount(8)  uses UUIDs as strings. The UUIDs from command
              line or fstab(5) are not converted to internal  binary  representa‐
              tion.  The  string  representation  of  the UUID should be based on
              lower case characters.

              The proc filesystem is not associated with a  special  device,  and
              when  mounting  it,  an arbitrary keyword, such as proc can be used
              instead of a device specification.  (The customary choice  none  is
              less  fortunate:  the  error message `none busy' from umount can be
              confusing.)

       The /etc/fstab, /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts files.
              The file /etc/fstab (see fstab(5)), may  contain  lines  describing
              what devices are usually mounted where, using which options.

              The command

                     mount -a [-t type] [-O optlist]

              (usually given in a bootscript) causes all filesystems mentioned in
              fstab (of the proper type and/or having or not  having  the  proper
              options)  to  be  mounted as indicated, except for those whose line
              contains the noauto keyword. Adding the -F option will  make  mount
              fork, so that the filesystems are mounted simultaneously.

              When  mounting a filesystem mentioned in fstab or mtab, it suffices
              to give only the device, or only the mount point.


              The programs mount and umount maintain a list of currently  mounted
              filesystems  in  the  file /etc/mtab.  If no arguments are given to
              mount, this list is printed.

              The mount program does not read the /etc/fstab file if  device  (or
              LABEL/UUID) and dir are specified. For example:

                     mount /dev/foo /dir

              If  you  want to override mount options from /etc/fstab you have to
              use:

                     mount device|dir -o <options>

              and then the mount options from command line will  be  appended  to
              the  list  of options from /etc/fstab.  The usual behaviour is that
              the last option wins if there is more duplicated options.

              When the proc filesystem is  mounted  (say  at  /proc),  the  files
              /etc/mtab  and  /proc/mounts have very similar contents. The former
              has somewhat more information, such as the mount options used,  but
              is not necessarily up-to-date (cf. the -n option below). It is pos‐
              sible to replace /etc/mtab by a symbolic link to /proc/mounts,  and
              especially  when  you have very large numbers of mounts things will
              be much faster with that symlink, but some information is lost that
              way, and in particular using the "user" option will fail.

       The non-superuser mounts.
              Normally,  only the superuser can mount filesystems.  However, when
              fstab contains the user option on a line,  anybody  can  mount  the
              corresponding system.

              Thus, given a line

                     /dev/cdrom  /cd  iso9660  ro,user,noauto,unhide

              any  user can mount the iso9660 filesystem found on his CDROM using
              the command

                     mount /dev/cdrom

              or

                     mount /cd

              For more details, see fstab(5).   Only  the  user  that  mounted  a
              filesystem  can  unmount  it  again.  If any user should be able to
              unmount, then use users instead of user in  the  fstab  line.   The
              owner  option  is  similar to the user option, with the restriction
              that the user must be the owner of the special file.  This  may  be
              useful  e.g.  for  /dev/fd if a login script makes the console user
              owner of this device.   The  group  option  is  similar,  with  the
              restriction  that  the user must be member of the group of the spe‐
              cial file.


       The bind mounts.
              Since Linux 2.4.0 it is possible to remount part of the file  hier‐
              archy somewhere else. The call is
                     mount --bind olddir newdir
              or shortoption
                     mount -B olddir newdir
              or fstab entry is:
                     /olddir /newdir none bind

              After this call the same contents is accessible in two places.  One
              can also remount a single file (on a single file). It's also possi‐
              ble  to  use  the  bind mount to create a mountpoint from a regular
              directory, for example:

                     mount --bind foo foo

              The bind mount call attaches only (part of)  a  single  filesystem,
              not  possible  submounts.  The entire file hierarchy including sub‐
              mounts is attached a second place using

                     mount --rbind olddir newdir

              or shortoption

                     mount -R olddir newdir

              Note that the filesystem mount options  will  remain  the  same  as
              those on the original mount point, and cannot be changed by passing
              the -o option along with --bind/--rbind. The mount options  can  be
              changed by a separate remount command, for example:

                     mount --bind olddir newdir
                     mount -o remount,ro newdir

              Note  that  behavior  of  the  remount  operation  depends  on  the
              /etc/mtab file. The first command stores the  'bind'  flag  to  the
              /etc/mtab file and the second command reads the flag from the file.
              If you have a system without the /etc/mtab file or if  you  explic‐
              itly  define  source  and  target  for  the  remount  command (then
              mount(8) does not read /etc/mtab), then you have to use  bind  flag
              (or option) for the remount command too. For example:

                     mount --bind olddir newdir
                     mount -o remount,ro,bind olddir newdir

       The move operation.
              Since  Linux 2.5.1 it is possible to atomically move a mounted tree
              to another place. The call is
                     mount --move olddir newdir
              or shortoption
                     mount -M olddir newdir
              This will cause the contents which previously appeared under olddir
              to be accessed under newdir.  The physical location of the files is
              not changed.  Note that the olddir has to be a mountpoint.

       The shared subtrees operations.
              Since Linux 2.6.15 it is possible to mark a mount and its submounts
              as  shared,  private,  slave or unbindable. A shared mount provides
              ability to create mirrors  of  that  mount  such  that  mounts  and
              umounts  within any of the mirrors propagate to the other mirror. A
              slave mount receives propagation from its master, but any not vice-
              versa.   A  private  mount  carries  no  propagation  abilities.  A
              unbindable mount is a private mount which cannot be cloned  through
              a  bind  operation.  Detailed semantics is documented in Documenta‐
              tion/filesystems/sharedsubtree.txt file in the kernel source tree.

                     mount --make-shared mountpoint
                     mount --make-slave mountpoint
                     mount --make-private mountpoint
                     mount --make-unbindable mountpoint

              The following commands allows one to recursively change the type of
              all the mounts under a given mountpoint.

                     mount --make-rshared mountpoint
                     mount --make-rslave mountpoint
                     mount --make-rprivate mountpoint
                     mount --make-runbindable mountpoint


COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
       The full set of mount options used by an invocation of mount is determined
       by first extracting the mount options for the filesystem  from  the  fstab
       table, then applying any options specified by the -o argument, and finally
       applying a -r or -w option, when present.

       Command line options available for the mount command:

       -V, --version
              Output version.

       -h, --help
              Print a help message.

       -v, --verbose
              Verbose mode.

       -a, --all
              Mount all filesystems (of the given types) mentioned in fstab.

       -F, --fork
              (Used in conjunction with -a.)  Fork off a new incarnation of mount
              for  each  device.  This will do the mounts on different devices or
              different NFS servers in parallel.  This has the advantage that  it
              is faster; also NFS timeouts go in parallel. A disadvantage is that
              the mounts are done in undefined order.  Thus, you cannot use  this
              option if you want to mount both /usr and /usr/spool.

       -f, --fake
              Causes  everything to be done except for the actual system call; if
              it's not obvious, this ``fakes''  mounting  the  filesystem.   This
              option  is useful in conjunction with the -v flag to determine what
              the mount command is trying to do. It  can  also  be  used  to  add
              entries  for  devices that were mounted earlier with the -n option.
              The -f option checks for existing record  in  /etc/mtab  and  fails
              when  the  record already exists (with regular non-fake mount, this
              check is done by kernel).

       -i, --internal-only
              Don't call the /sbin/mount.<filesystem> helper even if it exists.

       -l     Add the labels in the mount output. Mount must have  permission  to
              read the disk device (e.g. be suid root) for this to work.  One can
              set such a label for ext2, ext3 or ext4 using the e2label(8)  util‐
              ity, or for XFS using xfs_admin(8), or for reiserfs using reiserfs‐
              tune(8).

       -n, --no-mtab
              Mount without writing in /etc/mtab.  This is necessary for  example
              when /etc is on a read-only filesystem.

       --no-canonicalize
              Don't canonicalize paths. The mount command canonicalizes all paths
              (from command line or fstab) and stores canonicalized paths to  the
              /etc/mtab  file.  This option can be used together with the -f flag
              for already canonicalized absolut paths.

       -p, --pass-fd num
              In case of a loop mount with encryption, read the  passphrase  from
              file descriptor num instead of from the terminal.

       -s     Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than failing. This will ignore
              mount options not supported by a filesystem type. Not all  filesys‐
              tems  support  this  option.  This option exists for support of the
              Linux autofs-based automounter.

       -r, --read-only
              Mount the filesystem read-only. A synonym is -o ro.

              Note that, depending on  the  filesystem  type,  state  and  kernel
              behavior,  the  system  may still write to the device. For example,
              Ext3 or ext4 will replay its journal if the filesystem is dirty. To
              prevent  this  kind  of write access, you may want to mount ext3 or
              ext4 filesystem with "ro,noload" mount options  or  set  the  block
              device to read-only mode, see command blockdev(8).

       -w, --rw
              Mount  the filesystem read/write. This is the default. A synonym is
              -o rw.

       -L label
              Mount the partition that has the specified label.

       -U uuid
              Mount the partition that has the specified uuid.  These two options
              require  the file /proc/partitions (present since Linux 2.1.116) to
              exist.

       -t, --types vfstype
              The argument following the -t is used to  indicate  the  filesystem
              type.   The filesystem types which are currently supported include:
              adfs, affs, autofs, cifs, coda, coherent, cramfs, debugfs,  devpts,
              efs,  ext,  ext2,  ext3,  ext4,  hfs,  hfsplus, hpfs, iso9660, jfs,
              minix, msdos, ncpfs, nfs, nfs4, ntfs, proc, qnx4, ramfs,  reiserfs,
              romfs,  squashfs,  smbfs,  sysv,  tmpfs,  ubifs,  udf, ufs, umsdos,
              usbfs, vfat, xenix, xfs, xiafs.  Note that coherent, sysv and xenix
              are  equivalent and that xenix and coherent will be removed at some
              point in the future — use sysv instead. Since kernel version 2.1.21
              the  types  ext  and xiafs do not exist anymore. Earlier, usbfs was
              known as usbdevfs.  Note, the real list of all  supported  filesys‐
              tems depends on your kernel.

              The  programs  mount  and  umount support filesystem subtypes.  The
              subtype   is   defined   by   '.subtype'   suffix.    For   example
              'fuse.sshfs'.  It's recommended to use subtype notation rather than
              add any prefix to the mount source (for example 'sshfs#example.com'
              is depreacated).

              For  most  types  all the mount program has to do is issue a simple
              mount(2) system call, and no detailed knowledge of  the  filesystem
              type  is  required.  For a few types however (like nfs, nfs4, cifs,
              smbfs, ncpfs) ad hoc code is necessary. The nfs, nfs4, cifs, smbfs,
              and  ncpfs  filesystems  have a separate mount program. In order to
              make it possible to treat all types in a uniform  way,  mount  will
              execute  the  program /sbin/mount.TYPE (if that exists) when called
              with type TYPE.  Since various versions  of  the  smbmount  program
              have  different  calling conventions, /sbin/mount.smbfs may have to
              be a shell script that sets up the desired call.

              If no -t option is given, or if the auto type is  specified,  mount
              will  try  to guess the desired type.  Mount uses the blkid library
              for guessing the filesystem type; if that does not turn up anything
              that  looks familiar, mount will try to read the file /etc/filesys‐
              tems, or, if that does not exist, /proc/filesystems.   All  of  the
              filesystem  types listed there will be tried, except for those that
              are labeled "nodev" (e.g., devpts, proc and nfs).  If /etc/filesys‐
              tems  ends  in  a  line  with  a  single  *  only,  mount will read
              /proc/filesystems afterwards.

              The auto type may be useful for user-mounted floppies.  Creating  a
              file  /etc/filesystems  can  be  useful  to  change the probe order
              (e.g., to try vfat before msdos or ext3 before ext2) or if you  use
              a kernel module autoloader.

              More than one type may be specified in a comma separated list.  The
              list of filesystem types can be prefixed with  no  to  specify  the
              filesystem  types on which no action should be taken.  (This can be
              meaningful with the -a option.) For example, the command:

                     mount -a -t nomsdos,ext

              mounts all filesystems except those of type msdos and ext.

       -O, --test-opts opts
              Used in conjunction with -a, to limit the  set  of  filesystems  to
              which  the -a is applied.  Like -t in this regard except that it is
              useless except in the context of -a.  For example, the command:

                     mount -a -O no_netdev

              mounts all filesystems except those which have the  option  _netdev
              specified in the options field in the /etc/fstab file.

              It  is  different from -t in that each option is matched exactly; a
              leading no at the beginning of one option does not negate the rest.

              The -t and -O options are cumulative in effect; that is,  the  com‐
              mand

                     mount -a -t ext2 -O _netdev

              mounts  all  ext2  filesystems  with  the  _netdev  option, not all
              filesystems that are either ext2 or have the _netdev option  speci‐
              fied.

       -o, --options opts
              Options  are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separated
              string of options. For example:

                     mount LABEL=mydisk -o noatime,nouser


              For more details, see  FILESYSTEM  INDEPENDENT  MOUNT  OPTIONS  and
              FILESYSTEM SPECIFIC MOUNT OPTIONS sections.

       -B, --bind
              Remount  a  subtree somewhere else (so that its contents are avail‐
              able in both places). See above.

       -R, --rbind
              Remount a subtree and all possible  submounts  somewhere  else  (so
              that its contents are available in both places). See above.

       -M, --move
              Move a subtree to some other place. See above.


FILESYSTEM INDEPENDENT MOUNT OPTIONS
       Some  of  these options are only useful when they appear in the /etc/fstab
       file.

       Some of these options could be enabled or disabled by default in the  sys‐
       tem kernel. To check the current setting see the options in /proc/mounts.

       The  following  options apply to any filesystem that is being mounted (but
       not every filesystem actually honors them - e.g., the  sync  option  today
       has effect only for ext2, ext3, fat, vfat and ufs):


       async  All  I/O to the filesystem should be done asynchronously. (See also
              the sync option.)

       atime  Do not use noatime feature, then the  inode  access  time  is  con‐
              trolled  by  kernel defaults. See also the description for stricta‐
              time and reatime mount options.

       noatime
              Do not update inode access times  on  this  filesystem  (e.g.,  for
              faster access on the news spool to speed up news servers).

       auto   Can be mounted with the -a option.

       noauto Can  only be mounted explicitly (i.e., the -a option will not cause
              the filesystem to be mounted).

       context=context,  fscontext=context,   defcontext=context   and   rootcon‐
       text=context
              The context= option is useful when mounting filesystems that do not
              support extended attributes, such as a floppy or hard disk  format‐
              ted  with  VFAT,  or  systems  that  are not normally running under
              SELinux, such as an ext3 formatted disk from a non-SELinux worksta‐
              tion.  You  can  also use context= on filesystems you do not trust,
              such as a floppy. It also helps in  compatibility  with  xattr-sup‐
              porting  filesystems on earlier 2.4.<x> kernel versions. Even where
              xattrs are supported, you can save time not having to  label  every
              file by assigning the entire disk one security context.

              A   commonly  used  option  for  removable  media  is  context=sys‐
              tem_u:object_r:removable_t.

              Two other options are fscontext= and defcontext=, both of which are
              mutually  exclusive  of  the context option. This means you can use
              fscontext and defcontext with each other, but neither can  be  used
              with context.

              The  fscontext=  option  works  for  all filesystems, regardless of
              their xattr support. The  fscontext  option  sets  the  overarching
              filesystem  label  to  a specific security context. This filesystem
              label is separate from the individual labels on the files. It  rep‐
              resents  the  entire  filesystem  for  certain  kinds of permission
              checks, such as during mount or  file  creation.   Individual  file
              labels  are still obtained from the xattrs on the files themselves.
              The context option actually sets the aggregate context that  fscon‐
              text provides, in addition to supplying the same label for individ‐
              ual files.

              You can set the default security context for unlabeled files  using
              defcontext=  option.  This  overrides  the  value set for unlabeled
              files in the policy and requires a filesystem that  supports  xattr
              labeling.

              The  rootcontext=  option  allows  you to explicitly label the root
              inode of a FS being mounted before that FS or inode because visable
              to userspace. This was found to be useful for things like stateless
              linux.

              Note that kernel rejects any remount request that includes the con‐
              text option even if unchanged from the current context.

              For more details, see selinux(8)


       defaults
              Use default options: rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async.

       dev    Interpret character or block special devices on the filesystem.

       nodev  Do  not  interpret  character  or block special devices on the file
              system.

       diratime
              Update directory inode access times on this filesystem. This is the
              default.

       nodiratime
              Do not update directory inode access times on this filesystem.

       dirsync
              All  directory  updates  within  the filesystem should be done syn‐
              chronously.  This affects the following system calls: creat,  link,
              unlink, symlink, mkdir, rmdir, mknod and rename.

       exec   Permit execution of binaries.

       noexec Do  not  allow  direct  execution  of  any  binaries on the mounted
              filesystem.  (Until recently it was possible to run binaries anyway
              using  a  command  like  /lib/ld*.so  /mnt/binary. This trick fails
              since Linux 2.4.25 / 2.6.0.)

       group  Allow an ordinary (i.e., non-root) user to mount the filesystem  if
              one  of  his  groups  matches the group of the device.  This option
              implies the options nosuid and nodev (unless overridden  by  subse‐
              quent options, as in the option line group,dev,suid).

       encryption
              Specifies an encryption algorithm to use.  Used in conjunction with
              the loop option.

       keybits
              Specifies the key size to use for an encryption algorithm. Used  in
              conjunction  with  the  loop and encryption options.  nofail Do not
              report errors for this device if it does not exist.  iversion Every
              time  the  inode  is  modified,  the i_version field will be incre‐
              mented.

       noiversion
              Do not increment the i_version inode field.

       mand   Allow mandatory locks on this filesystem. See fcntl(2).

       nomand Do not allow mandatory locks on this filesystem.

       _netdev
              The filesystem resides on a device  that  requires  network  access
              (used to prevent the system from attempting to mount these filesys‐
              tems until the network has been enabled on the system).

       nofail Do not report errors for this device if it does not exist.

       relatime
              Update inode access  times  relative  to  modify  or  change  time.
              Access time is only updated if the previous access time was earlier
              than the current modify or change time. (Similar  to  noatime,  but
              doesn't  break  mutt  or  other applications that need to know if a
              file has been read since the last time it was modified.)

              Since Linux 2.6.30, the kernel defaults to the behavior provided by
              this  option  (unless  noatime was  specified), and the strictatime
              option is required to obtain traditional  semantics.  In  addition,
              since  Linux 2.6.30, the file's last access time is always  updated
              if  it  is more than 1 day old.

       norelatime
              Do not use relatime feature. See also the strictatime mount option.

       strictatime
              Allows to explicitly requesting full atime updates. This  makes  it
              possible  for  kernel  to defaults to relatime or noatime but still
              allow userspace to override it. For more details about the  default
              system mount options see /proc/mounts.

       nostrictatime
              Use the kernel's default behaviour for inode access time updates.

       suid   Allow  set-user-identifier  or  set-group-identifier  bits  to take
              effect.

       nosuid Do not allow set-user-identifier or  set-group-identifier  bits  to
              take  effect. (This seems safe, but is in fact rather unsafe if you
              have suidperl(1) installed.)

       silent Turn on the silent flag.

       loud   Turn off the silent flag.

       owner  Allow an ordinary (i.e., non-root) user to mount the filesystem  if
              he  is  the  owner  of the device.  This option implies the options
              nosuid and nodev (unless overridden by subsequent  options,  as  in
              the option line owner,dev,suid).

       remount
              Attempt to remount an already-mounted filesystem.  This is commonly
              used to change the mount flags for a filesystem, especially to make
              a  readonly filesystem writable. It does not change device or mount
              point.

              The remount functionality follows the standard way  how  the  mount
              command  works  with options from fstab. It means the mount command
              doesn't read fstab (or mtab) only when a device and dir  are  fully
              specified.

              mount -o remount,rw /dev/foo /dir

              After  this  call  all old mount options are replaced and arbitrary
              stuff from fstab is ignored,  except  the  loop=  option  which  is
              internally generated and maintained by the mount command.

              mount -o remount,rw  /dir

              After  this  call  mount  reads  fstab  (or  mtab) and merges these
              options with options from command line ( -o ).

       ro     Mount the filesystem read-only.

       rw     Mount the filesystem read-write.

       sync   All I/O to the filesystem should be done synchronously. In case  of
              media  with limited number of write cycles (e.g. some flash drives)
              "sync" may cause life-cycle shortening.

       user   Allow an ordinary user to mount the filesystem.  The  name  of  the
              mounting  user  is  written  to  mtab  so  that  he can unmount the
              filesystem again.  This option implies the options noexec,  nosuid,
              and  nodev  (unless  overridden  by  subsequent  options, as in the
              option line user,exec,dev,suid).

       nouser Forbid an ordinary (i.e., non-root) user to mount  the  filesystem.
              This is the default.

       users  Allow  every user to mount and unmount the filesystem.  This option
              implies the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden by
              subsequent options, as in the option line users,exec,dev,suid).


FILESYSTEM SPECIFIC MOUNT OPTIONS
       The  following options apply only to certain filesystems.  We sort them by
       filesystem. They all follow the -o flag.

       What options are supported depends a bit on the running kernel.  More info
       may be found in the kernel source subdirectory Documentation/filesystems.


Mount options for adfs
       uid=value and gid=value
              Set  the  owner  and group of the files in the filesystem (default:
              uid=gid=0).

       ownmask=value and othmask=value
              Set the permission mask for ADFS 'owner'  permissions  and  'other'
              permissions,  respectively  (default: 0700 and 0077, respectively).
              See also /usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/adfs.txt.

Mount options for affs
       uid=value and gid=value
              Set the owner and group of the root  of  the  filesystem  (default:
              uid=gid=0,  but with option uid or gid without specified value, the
              uid and gid of the current process are taken).

       setuid=value and setgid=value
              Set the owner and group of all files.

       mode=value
              Set the mode of all files to value & 0777 disregarding the original
              permissions.   Add  search permission to directories that have read
              permission.  The value is given in octal.

       protect
              Do not allow any changes to the protection bits on the filesystem.

       usemp  Set uid and gid of the root of the filesystem to the uid and gid of
              the  mount point upon the first sync or umount, and then clear this
              option. Strange...

       verbose
              Print an informational message for each successful mount.

       prefix=string
              Prefix used before volume name, when following a link.

       volume=string
              Prefix (of length at most 30) used before '/' when following a sym‐
              bolic link.

       reserved=value
              (Default: 2.) Number of unused blocks at the start of the device.

       root=value
              Give explicitly the location of the root block.

       bs=value
              Give blocksize. Allowed values are 512, 1024, 2048, 4096.

       grpquota|noquota|quota|usrquota
              These  options are accepted but ignored.  (However, quota utilities
              may react to such strings in /etc/fstab.)


Mount options for cifs
       See the options section of the mount.cifs(8) man page (cifs-utils  package
       must be installed).


Mount options for coherent
       None.


Mount options for debugfs
       The  debugfs  filesystem  is a pseudo filesystem, traditionally mounted on
       /sys/kernel/debug.  There are no mount options.


Mount options for devpts
       The devpts filesystem is a pseudo  filesystem,  traditionally  mounted  on
       /dev/pts.   In  order  to  acquire  a  pseudo  terminal,  a  process opens
       /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo terminal is then made available to the
       process  and  the  pseudo terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<num‐
       ber>.

       uid=value and gid=value
              This sets the owner or the group of newly created PTYs to the spec‐
              ified  values.  When  nothing is specified, they will be set to the
              UID and GID of the creating process.  For example, if  there  is  a
              tty  group  with GID 5, then gid=5 will cause newly created PTYs to
              belong to the tty group.

       mode=value
              Set the mode of newly created PTYs to  the  specified  value.   The
              default  is 0600.  A value of mode=620 and gid=5 makes "mesg y" the
              default on newly created PTYs.

       newinstance
              Create a private instance of devpts filesystem, such  that  indices
              of  ptys  allocated in this new instance are independent of indices
              created in other instances of devpts.

              All mounts of devpts without this newinstance option share the same
              set  of  pty  indices (i.e legacy mode).  Each mount of devpts with
              the newinstance option has a private set of pty indices.

              This option is mainly used to support containers in the linux  ker‐
              nel.  It  is  implemented  in  linux  kernel versions starting with
              2.6.29.   Further,  this  mount  option  is  valid  only  if   CON‐
              FIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES  is  enabled in the kernel configura‐
              tion.

              To use this option effectively, /dev/ptmx must be a  symbolic  link
              to pts/ptmx.  See Documentation/filesystems/devpts.txt in the linux
              kernel source tree for details.

       ptmxmode=value

              Set the mode for the new ptmx device node in the devpts filesystem.

              With the support for multiple instances of devpts (see  newinstance
              option above), each instance has a private ptmx node in the root of
              the devpts filesystem (typically /dev/pts/ptmx).

              For compatibility with older versions of the  kernel,  the  default
              mode of the new ptmx node is 0000.  ptmxmode=value specifies a more
              useful mode for the ptmx node and is highly  recommended  when  the
              newinstance option is specified.

              This  option  is only implemented in linux kernel versions starting
              with  2.6.29.  Further  this  option  is   valid   only   if   CON‐
              FIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES  is  enabled in the kernel configura‐
              tion.


Mount options for ext
       None.  Note that the `ext' filesystem is obsolete. Don't  use  it.   Since
       Linux version 2.1.21 extfs is no longer part of the kernel source.


Mount options for ext2
       The  `ext2'  filesystem  is  the  standard  Linux filesystem.  Since Linux
       2.5.46, for most mount options the default is determined by the filesystem
       superblock. Set them with tune2fs(8).

       acl|noacl
              Support POSIX Access Control Lists (or not).

       bsddf|minixdf
              Set the behaviour for the statfs system call. The minixdf behaviour
              is to return in the f_blocks field the total number  of  blocks  of
              the filesystem, while the bsddf behaviour (which is the default) is
              to subtract the overhead blocks used by the ext2 filesystem and not
              available for file storage. Thus

              % mount /k -o minixdf; df /k; umount /k
              Filesystem   1024-blocks  Used Available Capacity Mounted on
              /dev/sda6      2630655   86954  2412169      3%   /k
              % mount /k -o bsddf; df /k; umount /k
              Filesystem   1024-blocks  Used Available Capacity Mounted on
              /dev/sda6      2543714      13  2412169      0%   /k

              (Note that this example shows that one can add command line options
              to the options given in /etc/fstab.)


       check={none|nocheck}
              No checking is done at mount time. This is  the  default.  This  is
              fast.   It  is wise to invoke e2fsck(8) every now and then, e.g. at
              boot time.

       debug  Print debugging info upon each (re)mount.

       errors={continue|remount-ro|panic}
              Define the behaviour when an error is encountered.  (Either  ignore
              errors  and  just  mark  the  filesystem erroneous and continue, or
              remount the filesystem read-only, or panic and  halt  the  system.)
              The default is set in the filesystem superblock, and can be changed
              using tune2fs(8).

       grpid|bsdgroups and nogrpid|sysvgroups
              These options define what group id a newly created file gets.  When
              grpid is set, it takes the group id of the directory in which it is
              created; otherwise (the default) it takes the fsgid of the  current
              process, unless the directory has the setgid bit set, in which case
              it takes the gid from the parent directory, and also gets the  set‐
              gid bit set if it is a directory itself.

       grpquota|noquota|quota|usrquota
              These options are accepted but ignored.

       nouid32
              Disables  32-bit  UIDs and GIDs.  This is for interoperability with
              older kernels which only store and expect 16-bit values.

       oldalloc or orlov
              Use old allocator or Orlov  allocator  for  new  inodes.  Orlov  is
              default.

       resgid=n and resuid=n
              The  ext2 filesystem reserves a certain percentage of the available
              space (by default 5%, see mke2fs(8) and tune2fs(8)).  These options
              determine  who  can use the reserved blocks.  (Roughly: whoever has
              the specified uid, or belongs to the specified group.)

       sb=n   Instead of block 1, use block n as superblock. This could be useful
              when  the  filesystem  has  been  damaged.  (Earlier, copies of the
              superblock would be made every  8192  blocks:  in  block  1,  8193,
              16385,  ...  (and one got thousands of copies on a big filesystem).
              Since version 1.08, mke2fs has a -s (sparse superblock)  option  to
              reduce  the  number  of  backup superblocks, and since version 1.15
              this is the default. Note that this may mean that ext2  filesystems
              created  by  a  recent  mke2fs  cannot  be  mounted r/w under Linux
              2.0.*.)  The block number here uses 1k units. Thus, if you want  to
              use  logical  block  32768  on  a  filesystem  with  4k blocks, use
              "sb=131072".

       user_xattr|nouser_xattr
              Support "user." extended attributes (or not).



Mount options for ext3
       The ext3 filesystem is a version of the ext2  filesystem  which  has  been
       enhanced  with  journalling.  It supports the same options as ext2 as well
       as the following additions:

       journal=update
              Update the ext3 filesystem's journal to the current format.

       journal=inum
              When a journal already exists, this option is  ignored.  Otherwise,
              it  specifies the number of the inode which will represent the ext3
              filesystem's journal file;  ext3 will create a new  journal,  over‐
              writing the old contents of the file whose inode number is inum.

       journal_dev=devnum
              When   the  external  journal  device's  major/minor  numbers  have
              changed, this option allows the user to  specify  the  new  journal
              location.   The  journal  device  is  identified  through  its  new
              major/minor numbers encoded in devnum.

       norecovery/noload
              Don't load the journal on mounting.  Note that  if  the  filesystem
              was not unmounted cleanly, skipping the journal replay will lead to
              the filesystem containing inconsistencies that can lead to any num‐
              ber of problems.

       data={journal|ordered|writeback}
              Specifies  the  journalling mode for file data.  Metadata is always
              journaled.  To use modes other than ordered on the root filesystem,
              pass  the  mode  to  the  kernel  as  boot  parameter,  e.g.  root‐
              flags=data=journal.

              journal
                     All data is committed into the journal prior to being  writ‐
                     ten into the main filesystem.

              ordered
                     This  is  the default mode.  All data is forced directly out
                     to the main file system prior to its metadata being  commit‐
                     ted to the journal.

              writeback
                     Data  ordering  is  not preserved - data may be written into
                     the main filesystem after its metadata has been committed to
                     the  journal.  This is rumoured to be the highest-throughput
                     option.  It guarantees internal filesystem  integrity,  how‐
                     ever  it can allow old data to appear in files after a crash
                     and journal recovery.

       barrier=0 / barrier=1
              This enables/disables barriers.  barrier=0 disables  it,  barrier=1
              enables  it.   Write  barriers  enforce  proper on-disk ordering of
              journal commits, making volatile disk write caches safe to use,  at
              some  performance  penalty.   The  ext3  filesystem does not enable
              write barriers by default.  Be sure to enable barriers unless  your
              disks  are  battery-backed  one way or another.  Otherwise you risk
              filesystem corruption in case of power failure.

       commit=nrsec
              Sync all data and metadata every nrsec seconds. The  default  value
              is 5 seconds. Zero means default.

       user_xattr
              Enable Extended User Attributes. See the attr(5) manual page.

       acl    Enable POSIX Access Control Lists. See the acl(5) manual page.


Mount options for ext4
       The  ext4  filesystem  is  an  advanced level of the ext3 filesystem which
       incorporates scalability and reliability enhancements for supporting large
       filesystem.

       The   options   journal_dev,   noload,   data,  commit,  orlov,  oldalloc,
       [no]user_xattr [no]acl, bsddf, minixdf, debug,  errors,  data_err,  grpid,
       bsdgroups,   nogrpid  sysvgroups,  resgid,  resuid,  sb,  quota,  noquota,
       grpquota and usrquota are backwardly compatible with ext3 or ext2.

       journal_checksum
              Enable checksumming of the journal transactions.  This  will  allow
              the  recovery code in e2fsck and the kernel to detect corruption in
              the kernel.  It is a compatible change and will be ignored by older
              kernels.

       journal_async_commit
              Commit  block can be written to disk without waiting for descriptor
              blocks. If enabled older kernels cannot mount the device. This will
              enable 'journal_checksum' internally.

       journal=update
              Update the ext4 filesystem's journal to the current format.

       barrier=0 / barrier=1 / barrier / nobarrier
              This  enables/disables  the  use of write barriers in the jbd code.
              barrier=0 disables, barrier=1 enables.  This also  requires  an  IO
              stack  which  can  support  barriers, and if jbd gets an error on a
              barrier write, it will disable again with a warning.  Write  barri‐
              ers  enforce  proper  on-disk  ordering  of journal commits, making
              volatile disk  write  caches  safe  to  use,  at  some  performance
              penalty.   If  your disks are battery-backed in one way or another,
              disabling barriers  may  safely  improve  performance.   The  mount
              options  "barrier"  and  "nobarrier"  can also be used to enable or
              disable barriers, for consistency with other ext4 mount options.

              The ext4 filesystem enables write barriers by default.

       inode_readahead=n
              This tuning parameter controls the maximum number  of  inode  table
              blocks  that  ext4's  inode table readahead algorithm will pre-read
              into the buffer cache.  The default value is 32 blocks.

       stripe=n
              Number of filesystem blocks that mballoc will try to use for  allo‐
              cation  size  and alignment. For RAID5/6 systems this should be the
              number of data disks * RAID chunk size in filesystem blocks.

       delalloc
              Deferring block allocation until write-out time.

       nodelalloc
              Disable delayed allocation.  Blocks  are  allocated  when  data  is
              copied from user to page cache.

       max_batch_time=usec
              Maximum  amount  of time ext4 should wait for additional filesystem
              operations to be batch together with a synchronous write operation.
              Since  a synchronous write operation is going to force a commit and
              then a wait for the I/O complete, it doesn't cost much, and can  be
              a huge throughput win, we wait for a small amount of time to see if
              any other transactions can piggyback on the synchronous write.  The
              algorithm  used  is designed to automatically tune for the speed of
              the disk, by measuring the amount of  time  (on  average)  that  it
              takes  to finish committing a transaction. Call this time the "com‐
              mit time".  If the time that the transaction has  been  running  is
              less  than  the  commit time, ext4 will try sleeping for the commit
              time to see if other operations will join the transaction. The com‐
              mit time is capped by the max_batch_time, which defaults to 15000us
              (15ms). This optimization can be turned  off  entirely  by  setting
              max_batch_time to 0.

       min_batch_time=usec
              This  parameter  sets the commit time (as described above) to be at
              least min_batch_time. It defaults to zero microseconds.  Increasing
              this  parameter  may improve the throughput of multi-threaded, syn‐
              chronous workloads on very fast disks, at the  cost  of  increasing
              latency.

       journal_ioprio=prio
              The  I/O  priority  (from  0  to 7, where 0 is the highest priorty)
              which should be used for I/O  operations  submitted  by  kjournald2
              during a commit operation.  This defaults to 3, which is a slightly
              higher priority than the default I/O priority.

       abort  Simulate the effects of calling  ext4_abort()  for  debugging  pur‐
              poses.   This  is normally used while remounting a filesystem which
              is already mounted.

       auto_da_alloc|noauto_da_alloc
              Many broken applications don't use fsync() when replacing  existing
              files via patterns such as

              fd   =   open("foo.new")/write(fd,..)/close(fd)/  rename("foo.new",
              "foo")

              or worse yet

              fd = open("foo", O_TRUNC)/write(fd,..)/close(fd).

              If auto_da_alloc is enabled,  ext4  will  detect  the  replace-via-
              rename and replace-via-truncate patterns and force that any delayed
              allocation blocks are allocated such that at the next journal  com‐
              mit,  in  the default data=ordered mode, the data blocks of the new
              file are forced to disk before the rename() operation is committed.
              This  provides  roughly  the  same level of guarantees as ext3, and
              avoids the "zero-length" problem that  can  happen  when  a  system
              crashes before the delayed allocation blocks are forced to disk.

       discard/nodiscard
              Controls  whether  ext4  should  issue discard/TRIM commands to the
              underlying block device when blocks are freed.  This is useful  for
              SSD  devices  and  sparse/thinly-provisioned LUNs, but it is off by
              default until sufficient testing has been done.

       nouid32
              Disables 32-bit UIDs and GIDs.  This is for interoperability   with
              older kernels which only store and expect 16-bit values.

       resize Allows  to  resize filesystem to the end of the last existing block
              group, further resize has to be done with resize2fs either  online,
              or offline. It can be used only with conjunction with remount.

       block_validity/noblock_validity
              This  options allows to enables/disables the in-kernel facility for
              tracking filesystem metadata blocks  within  internal  data  struc‐
              tures.  This  allows  multi-  block allocator and other routines to
              quickly locate extents which might overlap with filesystem metadata
              blocks. This option is intended for debugging purposes and since it
              negatively affects the performance, it is off by default.

       dioread_lock/dioread_nolock
              Controls whether or not ext4 should use the DIO  read  locking.  If
              the  dioread_nolock  option  is specified ext4 will allocate unini‐
              tialized extent before buffer write and convert the extent to  ini‐
              tialized  after  IO  completes.   This approach allows ext4 code to
              avoid using inode mutex, which improves scalability on  high  speed
              storages.  However  this  does  not  work  with data journaling and
              dioread_nolock option will be ignored with  kernel  warning.   Note
              that  dioread_nolock code path is only used for extent-based files.
              Because of the restrictions this options comprises  it  is  off  by
              default (e.g. dioread_lock).

       i_version
              Enable 64-bit inode version support. This option is off by default.


Mount options for fat
       (Note:  fat  is not a separate filesystem, but a common part of the msdos,
       umsdos and vfat filesystems.)

       blocksize={512|1024|2048}
              Set blocksize (default 512). This option is obsolete.

       uid=value and gid=value
              Set the owner and group of all files.  (Default: the uid and gid of
              the current process.)

       umask=value
              Set  the  umask  (the  bitmask  of  the  permissions  that  are not
              present). The default is the umask of  the  current  process.   The
              value is given in octal.

       dmask=value
              Set  the  umask  applied  to  directories only.  The default is the
              umask of the current process.  The value is given in octal.

       fmask=value
              Set the umask applied to regular files only.  The  default  is  the
              umask of the current process.  The value is given in octal.

       allow_utime=value
              This option controls the permission check of mtime/atime.

              20     If  current  process is in group of file's group ID, you can
                     change timestamp.

              2      Other users can change timestamp.

              The default is set  from  `dmask'  option.  (If  the  directory  is
              writable, utime(2) is also allowed. I.e. ~dmask & 022)

              Normally  utime(2)  checks current process is owner of the file, or
              it has CAP_FOWNER capability.   But  FAT  filesystem  doesn't  have
              uid/gid  on  disk,  so  normal  check  is too unflexible. With this
              option you can relax it.

       check=value
              Three different levels of pickyness can be chosen:

              r[elaxed]
                     Upper and lower case are accepted and equivalent, long  name
                     parts are truncated (e.g.  verylongname.foobar becomes very‐
                     long.foo), leading and embedded spaces are accepted in  each
                     name part (name and extension).

              n[ormal]
                     Like  "relaxed",  but many special characters (*, ?, <, spa‐
                     ces, etc.) are rejected.  This is the default.

              s[trict]
                     Like "normal", but names may not contain long parts and spe‐
                     cial  characters  that  are sometimes used on Linux, but are
                     not accepted by MS-DOS are rejected. (+, =, spaces, etc.)

       codepage=value
              Sets the codepage for converting to shortname characters on FAT and
              VFAT filesystems. By default, codepage 437 is used.

       conv={b[inary]|t[ext]|a[uto]}
              The  fat  filesystem  can perform CRLF<-->NL (MS-DOS text format to
              UNIX text format) conversion in the kernel. The  following  conver‐
              sion modes are available:

              binary no translation is performed.  This is the default.

              text   CRLF<-->NL translation is performed on all files.

              auto   CRLF<-->NL  translation is performed on all files that don't
                     have a "well-known binary"  extension.  The  list  of  known
                     extensions  can  be  found at the beginning of fs/fat/misc.c
                     (as of 2.0, the list is: exe, com, bin, app, sys, drv,  ovl,
                     ovr,  obj,  lib,  dll, pif, arc, zip, lha, lzh, zoo, tar, z,
                     arj, tz, taz, tzp, tpz, gz, tgz, deb,  gif,  bmp,  tif,  gl,
                     jpg, pcx, tfm, vf, gf, pk, pxl, dvi).

              Programs  that do computed lseeks won't like in-kernel text conver‐
              sion.  Several people have had their data ruined by  this  transla‐
              tion. Beware!

              For  filesystems  mounted  in binary mode, a conversion tool (from‐
              dos/todos) is available. This option is obsolete.

       cvf_format=module
              Forces the driver to use the CVF (Compressed  Volume  File)  module
              cvf_module  instead of auto-detection. If the kernel supports kmod,
              the cvf_format=xxx option also controls on-demand CVF module  load‐
              ing.  This option is obsolete.

       cvf_option=option
              Option passed to the CVF module. This option is obsolete.

       debug  Turn  on the debug flag.  A version string and a list of filesystem
              parameters will be printed (these data  are  also  printed  if  the
              parameters appear to be inconsistent).

       fat={12|16|32}
              Specify  a  12, 16 or 32 bit fat.  This overrides the automatic FAT
              type detection routine.  Use with caution!

       iocharset=value
              Character set to use for converting between 8 bit characters and 16
              bit  Unicode  characters. The default is iso8859-1.  Long filenames
              are stored on disk in Unicode format.

       tz=UTC This option disables the conversion  of  timestamps  between  local
              time  (as  used by Windows on FAT) and UTC (which Linux uses inter‐
              nally).  This is particularly useful when  mounting  devices  (like
              digital cameras) that are set to UTC in order to avoid the pitfalls
              of local time.

       quiet  Turn on the quiet flag.  Attempts to chown or chmod  files  do  not
              return errors, although they fail. Use with caution!

       showexec
              If  set,  the  execute  permission bits of the file will be allowed
              only if the extension part of the name is .EXE, .COM, or .BAT.  Not
              set by default.

       sys_immutable
              If  set,  ATTR_SYS attribute on FAT is handled as IMMUTABLE flag on
              Linux.  Not set by default.

       flush  If set, the filesystem will try to flush to disk  more  early  than
              normal.  Not set by default.

       usefree
              Use  the  "free  clusters" value stored on FSINFO. It'll be used to
              determine number of free clusters without scanning disk.  But  it's
              not  used  by  default, because recent Windows don't update it cor‐
              rectly in some case. If you are sure the "free clusters" on  FSINFO
              is correct, by this option you can avoid scanning disk.

       dots, nodots, dotsOK=[yes|no]
              Various  misguided attempts to force Unix or DOS conventions onto a
              FAT filesystem.


Mount options for hfs
       creator=cccc, type=cccc
              Set the creator/type values as shown by the MacOS finder  used  for
              creating new files.  Default values: '????'.

       uid=n, gid=n
              Set the owner and group of all files.  (Default: the uid and gid of
              the current process.)

       dir_umask=n, file_umask=n, umask=n
              Set the umask used for all directories, all regular files,  or  all
              files  and  directories.   Defaults  to  the  umask  of the current
              process.

       session=n
              Select the CDROM session to mount.  Defaults to leaving that  deci‐
              sion  to the CDROM driver.  This option will fail with anything but
              a CDROM as underlying device.

       part=n Select partition number n from the device.  Only  makes  sense  for
              CDROMs.  Defaults to not parsing the partition table at all.

       quiet  Don't complain about invalid mount options.


Mount options for hpfs
       uid=value and gid=value
              Set  the owner and group of all files. (Default: the uid and gid of
              the current process.)

       umask=value
              Set the  umask  (the  bitmask  of  the  permissions  that  are  not
              present).  The  default  is  the umask of the current process.  The
              value is given in octal.

       case={lower|asis}
              Convert all files names to lower case, or  leave  them.   (Default:
              case=lower.)

       conv={binary|text|auto}
              For  conv=text, delete some random CRs (in particular, all followed
              by NL) when reading a file.  For conv=auto, choose more or less  at
              random  between  conv=binary  and conv=text.  For conv=binary, just
              read what is in the file. This is the default.

       nocheck
              Do not abort mounting when certain consistency checks fail.


Mount options for iso9660
       ISO 9660 is a standard describing a filesystem structure to be used on CD-
       ROMs.  (This  filesystem  type is also seen on some DVDs. See also the udf
       filesystem.)

       Normal iso9660 filenames appear in a 8.3 format (i.e.,  DOS-like  restric‐
       tions  on  filename  length),  and in addition all characters are in upper
       case.  Also there is no field for file ownership,  protection,  number  of
       links, provision for block/character devices, etc.

       Rock Ridge is an extension to iso9660 that provides all of these UNIX-like
       features.  Basically there are extensions to each  directory  record  that
       supply  all  of the additional information, and when Rock Ridge is in use,
       the filesystem is indistinguishable from a normal UNIX filesystem  (except
       that it is read-only, of course).

       norock Disable  the  use  of Rock Ridge extensions, even if available. Cf.
              map.

       nojoliet
              Disable the use of Microsoft Joliet extensions, even if  available.
              Cf. map.

       check={r[elaxed]|s[trict]}
              With  check=relaxed,  a  filename  is first converted to lower case
              before doing the lookup.  This is probably only meaningful together
              with norock and map=normal.  (Default: check=strict.)

       uid=value and gid=value
              Give  all  files  in the filesystem the indicated user or group id,
              possibly overriding the information found in the Rock Ridge  exten‐
              sions.  (Default: uid=0,gid=0.)

       map={n[ormal]|o[ff]|a[corn]}
              For  non-Rock  Ridge volumes, normal name translation maps upper to
              lower case ASCII, drops a trailing `;1', and converts `;'  to  `.'.
              With  map=off  no  name translation is done. See norock.  (Default:
              map=normal.)  map=acorn is like map=normal  but  also  apply  Acorn
              extensions if present.

       mode=value
              For  non-Rock  Ridge  volumes,  give  all files the indicated mode.
              (Default: read permission for everybody.)  Since Linux  2.1.37  one
              no longer needs to specify the mode in decimal. (Octal is indicated
              by a leading 0.)

       unhide Also show hidden and associated files.  (If the ordinary files  and
              the  associated  or  hidden files have the same filenames, this may
              make the ordinary files inaccessible.)

       block={512|1024|2048}
              Set the block size to the indicated value.  (Default: block=1024.)

       conv={a[uto]|b[inary]|m[text]|t[ext]}
              (Default: conv=binary.)  Since Linux  1.3.54  this  option  has  no
              effect  anymore.   (And non-binary settings used to be very danger‐
              ous, possibly leading to silent data corruption.)

       cruft  If the high byte of the file length  contains  other  garbage,  set
              this mount option to ignore the high order bits of the file length.
              This implies that a file cannot be larger than 16MB.

       session=x
              Select number of session on multisession CD. (Since 2.3.4.)

       sbsector=xxx
              Session begins from sector xxx. (Since 2.3.4.)

       The following options are the same as for vfat and  specifying  them  only
       makes sense when using discs encoded using Microsoft's Joliet extensions.

       iocharset=value
              Character set to use for converting 16 bit Unicode characters on CD
              to 8 bit characters. The default is iso8859-1.

       utf8   Convert 16 bit Unicode characters on CD to UTF-8.


Mount options for jfs
       iocharset=name
              Character set to use for converting from  Unicode  to  ASCII.   The
              default is to do no conversion.  Use iocharset=utf8 for UTF8 trans‐
              lations.  This requires CONFIG_NLS_UTF8 to be  set  in  the  kernel
              .config file.

       resize=value
              Resize the volume to value blocks. JFS only supports growing a vol‐
              ume, not shrinking it. This option is only valid during a  remount,
              when  the  volume is mounted read-write. The resize keyword with no
              value will grow the volume to the full size of the partition.

       nointegrity
              Do not write to the journal.  The primary use of this option is  to
              allow  for  higher  performance when restoring a volume from backup
              media. The integrity of the volume is not guaranteed if the  system
              abnormally abends.

       integrity
              Default.   Commit metadata changes to the journal.  Use this option
              to remount a volume where the  nointegrity  option  was  previously
              specified in order to restore normal behavior.

       errors={continue|remount-ro|panic}
              Define  the behaviour when an error is encountered.  (Either ignore
              errors and just mark the  filesystem  erroneous  and  continue,  or
              remount the filesystem read-only, or panic and halt the system.)

       noquota|quota|usrquota|grpquota
              These options are accepted but ignored.


Mount options for minix
       None.


Mount options for msdos
       See  mount  options for fat.  If the msdos filesystem detects an inconsis‐
       tency, it reports an  error  and  sets  the  file  system  read-only.  The
       filesystem can be made writable again by remounting it.


Mount options for ncpfs
       Just  like  nfs,  the  ncpfs  implementation  expects a binary argument (a
       struct ncp_mount_data) to the mount system call.  This  argument  is  con‐
       structed  by  ncpmount(8) and the current version of mount (2.12) does not
       know anything about ncpfs.


Mount options for nfs and nfs4
       See the options section of the nfs(5) man page (nfs-common package must be
       installed).

       The  nfs  and  nfs4  implementation  expects  a  binary argument (a struct
       nfs_mount_data) to the mount system call. This argument is constructed  by
       mount.nfs(8)  and  the  current version of mount (2.13) does not know any‐
       thing about nfs and nfs4.


Mount options for ntfs
       iocharset=name
              Character set to use when returning file names.  Unlike VFAT,  NTFS
              suppresses  names  that  contain  nonconvertible characters. Depre‐
              cated.

       nls=name
              New name for the option earlier called iocharset.

       utf8   Use UTF-8 for converting file names.

       uni_xlate={0|1|2}
              For 0 (or `no' or `false'), do not use escape sequences for unknown
              Unicode  characters.   For  1  (or `yes' or `true') or 2, use vfat-
              style 4-byte escape sequences starting with ":". Here 2 give a lit‐
              tle-endian encoding and 1 a byteswapped bigendian encoding.

       posix=[0|1]
              If  enabled  (posix=1),  the filesystem distinguishes between upper
              and lower case. The 8.3 alias names are  presented  as  hard  links
              instead of being suppressed. This option is obsolete.

       uid=value, gid=value and umask=value
              Set  the  file  permission  on  the filesystem.  The umask value is
              given in octal.  By default, the files are owned by  root  and  not
              readable by somebody else.


Mount options for proc
       uid=value and gid=value
              These  options  are  recognized, but have no effect as far as I can
              see.


Mount options for ramfs
       Ramfs is a memory based filesystem. Mount it and you have it.  Unmount  it
       and  it  is  gone.  Present  since  Linux  2.3.99pre4.  There are no mount
       options.


Mount options for reiserfs
       Reiserfs is a journaling filesystem.

       conv   Instructs version 3.6 reiserfs software  to  mount  a  version  3.5
              filesystem,  using  the  3.6 format for newly created objects. This
              filesystem will no longer be compatible with reiserfs 3.5 tools.

       hash={rupasov|tea|r5|detect}
              Choose which hash function reiserfs will use to find  files  within
              directories.

              rupasov
                     A  hash  invented  by Yury Yu. Rupasov.  It is fast and pre‐
                     serves locality, mapping lexicographically close file  names
                     to close hash values.  This option should not be used, as it
                     causes a high probability of hash collisions.

              tea    A Davis-Meyer function implemented by  Jeremy  Fitzhardinge.
                     It  uses hash permuting bits in the name.  It gets high ran‐
                     domness and, therefore, low probability of  hash  collisions
                     at some CPU cost.  This may be used if EHASHCOLLISION errors
                     are experienced with the r5 hash.

              r5     A modified version of  the  rupasov  hash.  It  is  used  by
                     default  and  is  the  best choice unless the filesystem has
                     huge directories and unusual file-name patterns.

              detect Instructs mount to detect which hash function is in  use  by
                     examining  the  filesystem being mounted,  and to write this
                     information into the reiserfs superblock. This is only  use‐
                     ful on the first mount of an old format filesystem.

       hashed_relocation
              Tunes  the  block  allocator. This may provide performance improve‐
              ments in some situations.

       no_unhashed_relocation
              Tunes the block allocator. This may  provide  performance  improve‐
              ments in some situations.

       noborder
              Disable  the  border  allocator  algorithm  invented  by  Yury  Yu.
              Rupasov.  This may provide performance improvements in some  situa‐
              tions.

       nolog  Disable  journalling. This will provide slight performance improve‐
              ments in some situations at the  cost  of  losing  reiserfs's  fast
              recovery  from  crashes.  Even with this option turned on, reiserfs
              still performs all journalling operations, save for  actual  writes
              into  its  journalling  area.  Implementation of nolog is a work in
              progress.

       notail By default, reiserfs stores small files and `file  tails'  directly
              into  its tree. This confuses some utilities such as LILO(8).  This
              option is used to disable packing of files into the tree.

       replayonly
              Replay the transactions which are in the journal, but do not  actu‐
              ally mount the filesystem. Mainly used by reiserfsck.

       resize=number
              A  remount option which permits online expansion of reiserfs parti‐
              tions.  Instructs reiserfs to assume that  the  device  has  number
              blocks.   This  option  is  designed for use with devices which are
              under logical volume management (LVM).  There is a special  resizer
              utility  which can be obtained from ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reis‐
              erfsprogs.

       user_xattr
              Enable Extended User Attributes. See the attr(5) manual page.

       acl    Enable POSIX Access Control Lists. See the acl(5) manual page.

       barrier=none / barrier=flush
              This enables/disables the use of write barriers in  the  journaling
              code.   barrier=none  disables  it, barrier=flush enables it. Write
              barriers enforce proper on-disk ordering of journal commits, making
              volatile  disk  write  caches  safe  to  use,  at  some performance
              penalty. The reiserfs filesystem does not enable write barriers  by
              default.  Be sure to enable barriers unless your disks are battery-
              backed one way or another. Otherwise you risk filesystem corruption
              in case of power failure.


Mount options for romfs
       None.


Mount options for squashfs
       None.


Mount options for smbfs
       Just  like  nfs,  the  smbfs  implementation  expects a binary argument (a
       struct smb_mount_data) to the mount system call.  This  argument  is  con‐
       structed  by  smbmount(8) and the current version of mount (2.12) does not
       know anything about smbfs.


Mount options for sysv
       None.


Mount options for tmpfs
       size=nbytes
              Override default maximum size of the filesystem.  The size is given
              in  bytes,  and rounded up to entire pages.  The default is half of
              the memory. The size parameter also accepts a  suffix  %  to  limit
              this  tmpfs  instance  to that percentage of your physical RAM: the
              default, when neither size nor nr_blocks is specified, is size=50%

       nr_blocks=
              The same as size, but in blocks of PAGE_CACHE_SIZE

       nr_inodes=
              The maximum number of inodes for this instance. The default is half
              of  the  number  of  your physical RAM pages, or (on a machine with
              highmem) the number of lowmem RAM pages, whichever is the lower.

       The tmpfs mount options for  sizing  (  size,  nr_blocks,  and  nr_inodes)
       accept  a suffix k, m or g for Ki, Mi, Gi (binary kilo, mega and giga) and
       can be changed on remount.


       mode=  Set initial permissions of the root directory.

       uid=   The user id.

       gid=   The group id.

       mpol=[default|prefer:Node|bind:NodeList|interleave|interleave:NodeList]
              Set the NUMA  memory  allocation  policy  for  all  files  in  that
              instance  (if  the  kernel  CONFIG_NUMA  is enabled) - which can be
              adjusted on the fly via 'mount -o remount ...'

              default
                     prefers to allocate memory from the local node

              prefer:Node
                     prefers to allocate memory from the given Node

              bind:NodeList
                     allocates memory only from nodes in NodeList

              interleave
                     prefers to allocate from each node in turn

              interleave:NodeList
                     allocates from each node of NodeList in turn.

              The NodeList format is a comma-separated list  of  decimal  numbers
              and ranges, a range being two hyphen-separated decimal numbers, the
              smallest and largest node  numbers  in  the  range.   For  example,
              mpol=bind:0-3,5,7,9-15

              Note  that trying to mount a tmpfs with an mpol option will fail if
              the running kernel does not support NUMA;  and  will  fail  if  its
              nodelist  specifies  a  node  which  is not online.  If your system
              relies on that tmpfs being mounted, but from time to  time  runs  a
              kernel  built without NUMA capability (perhaps a safe recovery ker‐
              nel), or with fewer nodes online, then it is advisable to omit  the
              mpol  option  from automatic mount options.  It can be added later,
              when the tmpfs is already  mounted  on  MountPoint,  by  'mount  -o
              remount,mpol=Policy:NodeList MountPoint'.


Mount options for ubifs
       UBIFS  is a flash file system which works on top of UBI volumes. Note that
       atime is not supported and is always turned off.

       The device name may be specified as
              ubiX_Y UBI device number X, volume number Y

              ubiY   UBI device number 0, volume number Y

              ubiX:NAME
                     UBI device number X, volume with name NAME

              ubi:NAME
                     UBI device number 0, volume with name NAME
       Alternative !  separator may be used instead of :.

       The following mount options are available:

       bulk_read
              Enable bulk-read. VFS read-ahead is disabled because it slows  down
              the  file  system.  Bulk-Read  is  an  internal  optimization. Some
              flashes may read faster if the data are read at one go, rather than
              at  several read requests. For example, OneNAND can do "read-while-
              load" if it reads more than one NAND page.

       no_bulk_read
              Do not bulk-read. This is the default.

       chk_data_crc
              Check data CRC-32 checksums. This is the default.

       no_chk_data_crc.
              Do not check data CRC-32 checksums. With this option, the  filesys‐
              tem  does  not check CRC-32 checksum for data, but it does check it
              for the internal indexing information.  This  option  only  affects
              reading,  not writing. CRC-32 is always calculated when writing the
              data.

       compr={none|lzo|zlib}
              Select the default compressor which is  used  when  new  files  are
              written.  It  is still possible to read compressed files if mounted
              with the none option.


Mount options for udf
       udf is the "Universal Disk Format" filesystem defined by the Optical Stor‐
       age  Technology  Association,  and  is  often  used for DVD-ROM.  See also
       iso9660.

       gid=   Set the default group.

       umask= Set the default umask.  The value is given in octal.

       uid=   Set the default user.

       unhide Show otherwise hidden files.

       undelete
              Show deleted files in lists.

       nostrict
              Unset strict conformance.

       iocharset
              Set the NLS character set.

       bs=    Set the block size. (May not work unless 2048.)

       novrs  Skip volume sequence recognition.

       session=
              Set the CDROM session counting from 0. Default: last session.

       anchor=
              Override standard anchor location. Default: 256.

       volume=
              Override the VolumeDesc location. (unused)

       partition=
              Override the PartitionDesc location. (unused)

       lastblock=
              Set the last block of the filesystem.

       fileset=
              Override the fileset block location. (unused)

       rootdir=
              Override the root directory location. (unused)


Mount options for ufs
       ufstype=value
              UFS is a filesystem widely used  in  different  operating  systems.
              The problem are differences among implementations. Features of some
              implementations are undocumented, so its hard to recognize the type
              of ufs automatically.  That's why the user must specify the type of
              ufs by mount option.  Possible values are:

              old    Old format of ufs, this is the default, read  only.   (Don't
                     forget to give the -r option.)

              44bsd  For  filesystems  created by a BSD-like system (NetBSD,Free‐
                     BSD,OpenBSD).

              ufs2   Used in FreeBSD 5.x supported as read-write.

              5xbsd  Synonym for ufs2.

              sun    For filesystems created by SunOS or Solaris on Sparc.

              sunx86 For filesystems created by Solaris on x86.

              hp     For filesystems created by HP-UX, read-only.

              nextstep
                     For filesystems created by NeXTStep (on NeXT station)  (cur‐
                     rently read only).

              nextstep-cd
                     For NextStep CDROMs (block_size == 2048), read-only.

              openstep
                     For  filesystems  created by OpenStep (currently read only).
                     The same filesystem type is also used by Mac OS X.


       onerror=value
              Set behaviour on error:

              panic  If an error is encountered, cause a kernel panic.

              [lock|umount|repair]
                     These mount options don't do anything at  present;  when  an
                     error is encountered only a console message is printed.


Mount options for umsdos
       See  mount  options  for msdos.  The dotsOK option is explicitly killed by
       umsdos.


Mount options for vfat
       First of all, the mount options for fat are recognized.  The dotsOK option
       is explicitly killed by vfat.  Furthermore, there are

       uni_xlate
              Translate   unhandled   Unicode   characters   to  special  escaped
              sequences.  This lets you backup and  restore  filenames  that  are
              created  with any Unicode characters. Without this option, a '?' is
              used when no translation is possible. The escape character  is  ':'
              because  it is otherwise illegal on the vfat filesystem. The escape
              sequence that gets used, where u is the unicode character, is: ':',
              (u & 0x3f), ((u>>6) & 0x3f), (u>>12).

       posix  Allow  two  files with names that only differ in case.  This option
              is obsolete.

       nonumtail
              First try to make a short name without sequence number, before try‐
              ing name~num.ext.

       utf8   UTF8  is the filesystem safe 8-bit encoding of Unicode that is used
              by the console. It can be enabled  for  the  filesystem  with  this
              option   or   disabled  with  utf8=0,  utf8=no  or  utf8=false.  If
              `uni_xlate' gets set, UTF8 gets disabled.

       shortname={lower|win95|winnt|mixed}

              Defines the behaviour for creation and display of  filenames  which
              fit  into 8.3 characters. If a long name for a file exists, it will
              always be preferred display. There are four modes: :

              lower  Force the short name to lower case  upon  display;  store  a
                     long name when the short name is not all upper case.

              win95  Force  the  short  name  to upper case upon display; store a
                     long name when the short name is not all upper case.

              winnt  Display the shortname as is; store  a  long  name  when  the
                     short name is not all lower case or all upper case.

              mixed  Display  the  short  name  as is; store a long name when the
                     short name is not all upper case. This mode is  the  default
                     since Linux 2.6.32.



Mount options for usbfs
       devuid=uid and devgid=gid and devmode=mode
              Set  the  owner and group and mode of the device files in the usbfs
              filesystem (default: uid=gid=0, mode=0644). The mode  is  given  in
              octal.

       busuid=uid and busgid=gid and busmode=mode
              Set  the  owner  and  group  and mode of the bus directories in the
              usbfs filesystem (default: uid=gid=0, mode=0555). The mode is given
              in octal.

       listuid=uid and listgid=gid and listmode=mode
              Set  the  owner  and  group  and mode of the file devices (default:
              uid=gid=0, mode=0444). The mode is given in octal.


Mount options for xenix
       None.


Mount options for xfs
       allocsize=size
              Sets the buffered I/O end-of-file  preallocation  size  when  doing
              delayed  allocation writeout (default size is 64KiB).  Valid values
              for this option are page size (typically  4KiB)  through  to  1GiB,
              inclusive, in power-of-2 increments.

       attr2|noattr2
              The  options enable/disable (default is enabled) an "opportunistic"
              improvement to be made in the way inline  extended  attributes  are
              stored  on-disk.   When the new form is used for the first time (by
              setting or removing extended  attributes)  the  on-disk  superblock
              feature  bit  field will be updated to reflect this format being in
              use.

       barrier
              Enables the use of block layer write barriers for writes  into  the
              journal  and  unwritten  extent  conversion.  This allows for drive
              level write caching to be enabled, for devices that  support  write
              barriers.

       dmapi  Enable  the  DMAPI  (Data Management API) event callouts.  Use with
              the mtpt option.

       grpid|bsdgroups and nogrpid|sysvgroups
              These options define what group ID a newly created file gets.  When
              grpid is set, it takes the group ID of the directory in which it is
              created; otherwise (the default) it takes the fsgid of the  current
              process, unless the directory has the setgid bit set, in which case
              it takes the gid from the parent directory, and also gets the  set‐
              gid bit set if it is a directory itself.

       ihashsize=value
              Sets the number of hash buckets available for hashing the in-memory
              inodes of the specified mount point.  If a value of zero  is  used,
              the  value  selected  by the default algorithm will be displayed in
              /proc/mounts.

       ikeep|noikeep
              When inode clusters are emptied of inodes, keep them around on  the
              disk  (ikeep)  - this is the traditional XFS behaviour and is still
              the default for now.  Using the noikeep option, inode clusters  are
              returned to the free space pool.

       inode64
              Indicates  that  XFS is allowed to create inodes at any location in
              the filesystem, including those which will result in inode  numbers
              occupying  more than 32 bits of significance.  This is provided for
              backwards compatibility, but causes problems  for  backup  applica‐
              tions that cannot handle large inode numbers.

       largeio|nolargeio
              If  nolargeio  is specified, the optimal I/O reported in st_blksize
              by stat(2) will be as small as possible to allow user  applications
              to  avoid  inefficient read/modify/write I/O.  If largeio is speci‐
              fied, a filesystem that has a  swidth  specified  will  return  the
              swidth  value  (in bytes) in st_blksize. If the filesystem does not
              have a swidth specified but does specify an allocsize  then  alloc‐
              size  (in bytes) will be returned instead.  If neither of these two
              options are specified, then filesystem will behave as if  nolargeio
              was specified.

       logbufs=value
              Set  the number of in-memory log buffers.  Valid numbers range from
              2-8 inclusive.  The default value is 8 buffers for any recent  ker‐
              nel.

       logbsize=value
              Set  the  size of each in-memory log buffer.  Size may be specified
              in bytes, or in kilobytes with a "k" suffix.  Valid sizes for  ver‐
              sion  1  and version 2 logs are 16384 (16k) and 32768 (32k).  Valid
              sizes for version 2 logs also include 65536  (64k),  131072  (128k)
              and  262144  (256k).   The  default  value for any recent kernel is
              32768.

       logdev=device and rtdev=device
              Use an external log (metadata journal) and/or real-time device.  An
              XFS  filesystem  has  up to three parts: a data section, a log sec‐
              tion, and a real-time section.  The real-time section is  optional,
              and  the  log section can be separate from the data section or con‐
              tained within it.  Refer to xfs(5).

       mtpt=mountpoint
              Use with the  dmapi  option.  The  value  specified  here  will  be
              included  in  the  DMAPI mount event, and should be the path of the
              actual mountpoint that is used.

       noalign
              Data allocations will not be aligned at stripe unit boundaries.

       noatime
              Access timestamps are not updated when a file is read.

       norecovery
              The filesystem will be mounted without running  log  recovery.   If
              the filesystem was not cleanly unmounted, it is likely to be incon‐
              sistent when mounted in norecovery mode.  Some files or directories
              may  not  be accessible because of this.  Filesystems mounted nore‐
              covery must be mounted read-only or the mount will fail.

       nouuid Don't check for double mounted  filesystems  using  the  filesystem
              uuid.  This is useful to mount LVM snapshot volumes.

       osyncisosync
              Make  O_SYNC  writes  implement  true O_SYNC.  WITHOUT this option,
              Linux XFS behaves as if an osyncisdsync option is used, which  will
              make  writes  to files opened with the O_SYNC flag set behave as if
              the O_DSYNC flag had been used instead.  This can result in  better
              performance  without  compromising  data  safety.   However if this
              option is not in effect, timestamp updates from O_SYNC  writes  can
              be  lost if the system crashes.  If timestamp updates are critical,
              use the osyncisosync option.

       uquota|usrquota|uqnoenforce|quota
              User  disk  quota  accounting  enabled,  and  limits   (optionally)
              enforced.  Refer to xfs_quota(8) for further details.

       gquota|grpquota|gqnoenforce
              Group   disk  quota  accounting  enabled  and  limits  (optionally)
              enforced. Refer to xfs_quota(8) for further details.

       pquota|prjquota|pqnoenforce
              Project disk  quota  accounting  enabled  and  limits  (optionally)
              enforced. Refer to xfs_quota(8) for further details.

       sunit=value and swidth=value
              Used  to  specify  the stripe unit and width for a RAID device or a
              stripe volume.  value must be specified in  512-byte  block  units.
              If  this  option  is not specified and the filesystem was made on a
              stripe volume or the stripe width or unit were  specified  for  the
              RAID  device  at mkfs time, then the mount system call will restore
              the value from the  superblock.   For  filesystems  that  are  made
              directly on RAID devices, these options can be used to override the
              information in the superblock if the underlying disk layout changes
              after  the  filesystem  has  been  created.   The  swidth option is
              required if the sunit option has been specified, and must be a mul‐
              tiple of the sunit value.

       swalloc
              Data allocations will be rounded up to stripe width boundaries when
              the current end of file is being extended  and  the  file  size  is
              larger than the stripe width size.


Mount options for xiafs
       None.  Although  nothing  is wrong with xiafs, it is not used much, and is
       not maintained. Probably one shouldn't use it.  Since Linux version 2.1.21
       xiafs is no longer part of the kernel source.


THE LOOP DEVICE
       One further possible type is a mount via the loop device. For example, the
       command

              mount /tmp/disk.img /mnt -t vfat -o loop=/dev/loop

       will set  up  the  loop  device  /dev/loop3  to  correspond  to  the  file
       /tmp/disk.img, and then mount this device on /mnt.

       If  no  explicit loop device is mentioned (but just an option `-o loop' is
       given), then mount will try to find some unused loop device and use  that,
       for example

              mount /tmp/disk.img /mnt -o loop

       The  mount command automatically creates a loop device from a regular file
       if a filesystem type is not specified or the filesystem is known for  lib‐
       blkid, for example:

              mount /tmp/disk.img /mnt

              mount -t ext3 /tmp/disk.img /mnt

       This  type  of  mount knows about four options, namely loop, offset, size‐
       limit and encryption, that are really options to losetup(8).  If the mount
       requires  a  passphrase, you will be prompted for one unless you specify a
       file descriptor to read from instead with the  --pass-fd  option.   (These
       options can be used in addition to those specific to the filesystem type.)

       Since  Linux 2.6.25 is supported auto-destruction of loop devices and then
       any loop device allocated by mount will be freed by  umount  independently
       on /etc/mtab.

       You  can  also  free  a loop device by hand, using `losetup -d' or `umount
       -d`.


RETURN CODES
       mount has the following return codes (the bits can be ORed):

       0      success

       1      incorrect invocation or permissions

       2      system error (out of memory, cannot fork, no more loop devices)

       4      internal mount bug

       8      user interrupt

       16     problems writing or locking /etc/mtab

       32     mount failure

       64     some mount succeeded


NOTES
       The syntax of external mount helpers is:

              /sbin/mount.<suffix> spec dir [-sfnv] [-o  options]  [-t  type.sub‐
              type]

       where  the  <type> is filesystem type and -sfnvo options have same meaning
       like standard mount options. The -t option is used  for  filesystems  with
       subtypes support (for example /sbin/mount.fuse -t fuse.sshfs).


FILES
       /etc/fstab        filesystem table

       /etc/mtab         table of mounted filesystems

       /etc/mtab~        lock file

       /etc/mtab.tmp     temporary file

       /etc/filesystems  a list of filesystem types to try

BUGS
       It is possible for a corrupted filesystem to cause a crash.

       Some  Linux  filesystems  don't  support -o sync and -o dirsync (the ext2,
       ext3, fat and vfat filesystems do support synchronous updates (a  la  BSD)
       when mounted with the sync option).

       The -o remount may not be able to change mount parameters (all ext2fs-spe‐
       cific parameters, except sb, are changeable with a remount,  for  example,
       but you can't change gid or umask for the fatfs).

       Mount  by  label  or  uuid  will  work only if your devices have the names
       listed in /proc/partitions.  In particular, it may well fail if the kernel
       was compiled with devfs but devfs is not mounted.

       It  is  possible  that  files  /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts don't match. The
       first file is based only on the mount command options, but the content  of
       the  second  file  also  depends  on  the kernel and others settings (e.g.
       remote NFS server. In particular case the mount command may reports  unre‐
       liable  information about a NFS mount point and the /proc/mounts file usu‐
       ally contains more reliable information.)

       Checking files on NFS filesystem referenced by file descriptors (i.e.  the
       fcntl and ioctl families of functions) may lead to inconsistent result due
       to the lack of consistency check in kernel even if noac is used.

HISTORY
       A mount command existed in Version 5 AT&T UNIX.

AVAILABILITY
       The mount command is part of the util-linux package and is available  from
       ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
