mount_pcfs

mount_pcfs(1M)						  System Administration Commands					    mount_pcfs(1M)

NAME

       mount_pcfs - mount pcfs file systems

SYNOPSIS

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

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

DESCRIPTION

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

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

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

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

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

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

OPTIONS

       generic_options

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

       -o

	   Specify  pcfs file system specific options.	The following options are supported:

	   foldcase|nofoldcase

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

FILES

       /etc/mnttab     table of mounted file systems

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

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWesu			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       mount(1M), mountall(1M), mount(2), mnttab(4), vfstab(4), attributes(5), pcfs(7FS)

NOTES

       If the directory on which a file system is to be mounted is a symbolic link, the file system is mounted on the directory to which the  sym-
       bolic link refers, rather than on top of the symbolic link itself.
