This command is normally executed by .Xr 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). .Pp The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl o Ar options Use the specified mount .Ar options , as described in .Xr mount 8 , or one of the MS-DOS filesystem-specific options .Ar shortnames , .Ar longnames or .Ar nowin95 , all of which can be used to affect Windows name translation in the underlying filesystem. .It Fl u Ar uid Set the owner of the files in the file system to .Ar uid . The default owner is the owner of the directory on which the file system is being mounted. .It Fl g Ar gid Set the group of the files in the file system to .Ar gid . The default group is the group of the directory on which the file system is being mounted. .It Fl m Ar mask Specify the maximum file permissions for files in the file system. (For example, a .Ar mask of .Li 755 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 .Xr chmod 1 for more information about octal file modes.) Only the nine low-order bits of .Ar mask are used. The value of .Ar -M is used if it is supplied and .Ar -m is omitted. The default .Ar mask is taken from the directory on which the file system is being mounted. .It Fl M Ar mask Specify the maximum file permissions for directories in the file system. The value of .Ar -m is used if it is supplied and .Ar -M is omitted. See the previous option's description for details. .It Fl s Force behaviour to ignore and not generate Win'95 long filenames. .It Fl l Force listing and generation of Win'95 long filenames and separate creation/modification/access dates. .Pp If neither .Fl s nor .Fl l are given, .Fl l is the default. .It Fl 9 Ignore the special Win'95 directory entries even if deleting or renaming a file. This forces .Fl s . .\".It Fl G .\"This option causes the filesystem to be interpreted as an Atari-Gemdos .\"filesystem. The differences to the MS-DOS filesystem are minimal and .\"limited to the boot block. This option enforces .\".Fl s . .It Fl L Ar locale Specify locale name used for internal uppercase and lowercase conversions for DOS and Win'95 names. By default ISO 8859-1 assumed as local character set. .It Fl D Ar DOS_codepage Specify the MS-DOS code page (aka IBM/OEM code page) name used for file name conversions for DOS names. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr mount 2 , .Xr unmount 2 , .Xr fstab 5 , .Xr mount 8 .Sh HISTORY The predecessor to .Nm utility named .Nm mount_pcfs appeared in .Bx 386 . It was rewritten in .Nx 1.0 and first appeared in .Fx 2.0 . .Sh AUTHORS Initial implementation as .Nm mount_pcfs was written by .An -nosplit .An Paul Popelka Aq Mt paulp@uts.amdahl.com . It was rewritten by .An Christopher G. Demetriou Aq Mt cgd@NetBSD.org . .Sh CAVEATS The use of the .Fl 9 flag could result in damaged filesystems, albeit the damage is in part taken care of by procedures similar to the ones used in Win'95. .Pp .Fx 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.
