NAME
mount_ffs,
mount_ufs —
mount a Berkeley Fast File System
SYNOPSIS
mount_ffs |
[-o
options] special
node |
DESCRIPTION
The
mount_ffs command attaches the Berkeley Fast File System
on the
special device on to the file system tree at
point
node. Both
special and
node are converted to absolute paths before use.
The
mount_ufs form of the command is meant for backward
compatibility only. Fast File Systems should no longer be listed as type
“ufs” in
fstab(5) and
instead should be listed as type “ffs”.
This command is normally executed by
mount(8) at boot time. The
options are as follows:
-
-
- -o
- Options are specified with a -o flag
followed by a comma separated string of options. See the
mount(8) man page for
possible options and their meanings.
