DISKARBITRATIOND(8)					    BSD System Manager's Manual 				       DISKARBITRATIOND(8)

NAME

     diskarbitrationd -- disk arbitration daemon

SYNOPSIS

     diskarbitrationd [-d]

DESCRIPTION

     diskarbitrationd listens for connections from clients, notifies clients of the appearance of disks and filesystems, and governs the mounting
     of filesystems and the claiming of disks amongst clients.

     diskarbitrationd is accessed via the Disk Arbitration framework.  This command is not intended to be invoked directly.

     Options:

     -d       Report detailed information in /var/log/diskarbitrationd.log.

     The file /etc/fstab is consulted for user-defined mount points, indexed by filesystem, in the mount point determination for a filesystem.
     Each filesystem can be identified by its UUID or by its label, using the constructs ``UUID'' or ``LABEL'', respectively.  For example:

	UUID=DF000C7E-AE0C-3B15-B730-DFD2EF15CB91 /export ufs	ro
	UUID=FAB060E9-79F7-33FF-BE85-E1D3ABD3EDEA none	  hfs	rw,noauto
	LABEL=The40Volume40Name40Is40This none	  msdos ro

MSDOS.UTIL(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					     MSDOS.UTIL(8)

NAME

     msdos.util -- DOS/Windows (FAT) file system utility

SYNOPSIS

     msdos.util -m mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4 device node

     msdos.util -p mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4 device

     msdos.util -u device

     msdos.util -k device

     msdos.util -n device name

DESCRIPTION

     The msdos.util command supports the mounting, probing, and unmounting of FAT file systems.

     Options:
	   -m mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4
		       mount
	   -n	       set name
	   -p mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4
		       probe for mounting
	   -u	       unmount
	   -k	       print volume UUID

     mountflags above are either:
	   o   removable or fixed
	   o   readonly or writeable
	   o   suid or nosuid
	   o   dev or nodev

     FAT volumes do not actually have a volume UUID.  They have an optional 4-byte volume ID.  If a volume has an ID, then it will be converted to
     a version 3 UUID using MD5 to checksum the kFSUUIDNamespaceSHA1 UUID folowed by the volume ID.

     For the -k option, if the volume has a volume ID, the exit status will be 253 and the UUID will be printed to standard out, without any
     trailing newline.	Otherwise, if the volume appears to be FAT, the exit status will be 255.  If the volume does not appear to be FAT, the
     exit status will be 254.
