MOUNT(1)                    General Commands Manual                   MOUNT(1)

NAME
       mount - mount a file system

SYNOPSIS
       mount [-r] [-t type] [-o options] special file
       mount [-s] swapfile

OPTIONS
       -r     File system is mounted read-only

       -t     File system type

       -o     Options passed to FS server

       -s     Mount swap space

EXAMPLES
       mount /dev/fd1 /user
                           # Mount diskette 1 on /user

DESCRIPTION
       The  file  system contained on the special file is mounted on file.  In
       the example above, the root directory of the file system in drive 1 can
       be  accessed  as  /user  after  the  mount.  When the file system is no
       longer needed, it must be  unmounted  before  being  removed  from  the
       drive.

       The  -t  parameter  may  be used to mount a file system of a type other
       than the default.  The -o flag may be used to pass options to the  file
       system  server.   The  interpretation  of  these  options  is up to the
       server.

       With the -s flag a device or file is mounted as swap space.
