The mount_msdos
command attaches the
MS-DOS filesystem residing on the device special to
the global filesystem namespace at the location indicated by
node. This command is normally executed by
mount(8) at boot time, but can be used
by any user to mount an MS-DOS file system on any directory that they own
(provided, of course, that they have appropriate access to the device that
contains the file system).
The options are as follows:
-o
options-u
uid-g
gid-m
mask755
specifies that, by default, the owner should have read, write, and execute
permissions for files, but others should only have read and execute
permissions. See chmod(1) for more
information about octal file modes.) Only the nine low-order bits of
mask are used. The default
mask is taken from the directory on which the file
system is being mounted.FreeBSD 2.1 and earlier versions could not handle cluster sizes larger than 16K. Just mounting an MS-DOS file system could cause corruption to any mounted file system. Cluster sizes larger than 16K are unavoidable for file system sizes larger than 1G, and also occur when filesystems larger than 1G are shrunk to smaller than 1G using FIPS.
The mount_msdos
utility first appeared in
FreeBSD 2.0. Its predecessor, the
mount_pcfs
utility appeared in
FreeBSD 1.0, and was abandoned in favor of the more
aptly-named mount_msdos
.
