MOUNT_STD(8)           DragonFly System Manager's Manual          MOUNT_STD(8)


NAME

     mount_std, mount_procfs -- mount ``standard'' filesystems


SYNOPSIS

     mount_fsname [-o options] fs mount_point


DESCRIPTION

     The mount_std command is a generic mechanism for attaching ``standard''
     filesystems to the filesystem.  The mount_std command currently supports
     the procfs filesystem.  A ``standard'' filesystem is one which:

           1.   accepts only the standard -o options ``ro'' (``rdonly''),
                ``rw'', ``nodev'', ``noexec'', and ``nosuid''.

           2.   has a kernel filesystem module name the same as its user-
                visible name.

           3.   requires no other special processing on the part of the
                mount_std command.

     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.

     The mount_std command examines its zeroth command-line argument (the name
     by which it was called) to determine the type of filesystem to be
     mounted.  If it is called by a name which does not end in ``_fsname'',
     mount_std will assume (for compatibility with mount(8)) that the zeroth
     argument contains only the name of the filesystem type.  The mount_std
     command is normally installed with appropriate links to commands for the
     distributed filesystems which can be mounted in this way; for information
     on the function of each filesystem, see the manual page for that specific
     mount_fsname command.

     Refer to the procfs(5) manual page for detailed information on this file
     system.


DIAGNOSTICS

     argv[0] must end in _fsname  Mount_std was called with a zeroth argument
     of ``mount_std''.

     vfsload(%s)  Mount_std was unable to load a kernel module implementing
     the %s filesystem type.

     %s filesystem not available  The specified filesystem type was not
     present in the kernel and no loadable module for it was found.

HISTORY

     The mount_std utility first appeared in FreeBSD 2.2.  Loadable filesystem
     modules first appeared in FreeBSD 2.0.  The ``procfs'' filesystem type
     first appeared in FreeBSD 2.0.


CAVEATS

     None of the ``standard'' filesystems may be NFS-exported.
