NAME
usermount - mount filesystems
SYNOPSIS
usermount
[-fnprv] [-t
type]
[-o
options]
[[dev]
dir]
DESCRIPTION
This manual descripes the mount command extended with support for user
mountable filesystems. If both
dev
and
dir
is given, then the device
dev
is mounted on the directory
dir
which is possibly created only if there is a exact match in /etc/ufstab.
If only
dev
is missing, then the device matching that directory is looked up in
/etc/ufstab.
If
type
is missing, the type of the mounting will be the one of the first
matching entry in /etc/fstab. Otherwise,
usermount
will search a completely matching entry, with the same type, and only
if found the mount will be done.
If no arguments are given to
usermount
then -p is assumed.
OPTIONS
- -f
-
Fake an entry in /etc/mtab without actually mounting anything.
- -n
-
Do not write an entry in /etc/mtab for the mount.
- -p
-
Print the entry that would otherwise have been written to /etc/mtab on stdout.
- -r
-
Mount the filesystem(s) read-only.
- -v
-
Verbose.
- -t type
-
Mount the filesystem(s) of the given
type.
Currently (Linux V1.0.9) the following types are supported:
minix, msdos, proc, ext2, nfs, isofs, xfs, umsdos, sysv,
depending on your kernel configuration.
If no
type
is given, then
the one of the first /etc/ufstab matching entry
is assumed.
- -o options
-
Mount the filesystem(s) with the given
options.
The
options
is a comma separated list of keywords containing no white space.
The following
options
are supported for all filesystem types: (though they may not be implemented)
-
ro:
read-only.
rw:
read-write. This is default.
suid:
Allow setuid bits on executables to take effect on the mounted volume. This
is the default.
nosuid:
Ignore setuid bits on executables on the mounted volume.
nodev:
Disallow device files on the mounted volume.
noexec:
Disallow execution of binaries directly from the mounted volume.
sync:
Always keep the mounted volume sync'ed.
The defaults options for the normal user are
nosuid,noexec,nodev
that are mandatory! The -o option makes no difference for ordinary
users (It's here for compatibility). The only way to have different
mount options is to have it specified in /etc/ufstab.
Also,
defaults
in the options field of the /etc/ufstab means
nosuid,noexec,nodev,ro
instead of
suid,rw
as it does in /etc/fstab.
FILES
- /etc/ufstab
-
Holds a table of filesystems, where they should be mounted, with
what options and filesystem type.
- /etc/mtab
-
Holds a table of currently mounted filesystems.
- /etc/mtab~
-
A lock file, the existence of this file prevents
mount
from changing anything.
