.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm mount_msdos
|
|
.Nd mount an MS-DOS file system
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm mount_msdos
|
|
.Op Fl 9ls
|
|
.Op Fl g Ar group
|
|
.Op Fl m Ar mask
|
|
.Op Fl o Ar options
|
|
.Op Fl u Ar user
|
|
.Ar special
|
|
.Ar node
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command attaches the MS-DOS file system residing on
|
|
the device
|
|
.Ar special
|
|
to the global file system namespace at the location
|
|
indicated by
|
|
.Ar node .
|
|
This command is invoked by
|
|
.Xr mount 8
|
|
when using the syntax
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset 4n
|
|
.Nm mount Op options
|
|
-t msdos
|
|
.Ar special node
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar special
|
|
device must correspond to a partition registered in the
|
|
.Xr disklabel 5 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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 9
|
|
Ignore the special Windows 95/98 directory entries even
|
|
if deleting or renaming a file.
|
|
This forces
|
|
.Fl s .
|
|
.It Fl g Ar group
|
|
Specifies the group name or GID of the root inode of the file system.
|
|
Defaults to the mount point's GID.
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
Force listing and generation of
|
|
Windows 95/98 long filenames
|
|
and separate creation/modification/access dates.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This is the default.
|
|
.It Fl m Ar mask
|
|
Specify the maximum permissions for files and directories
|
|
in the file system.
|
|
Only the nine low-order bits of
|
|
.Ar mask
|
|
are used.
|
|
.It Fl o Ar options
|
|
Use the specified mount
|
|
.Ar options ,
|
|
as described in
|
|
.Xr mount 8 .
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Force behaviour to
|
|
ignore and not generate Windows 95/98 long filenames.
|
|
.It Fl u Ar user
|
|
Specifies the user name or UID of the root inode of the file system.
|
|
Defaults to the mount point's UID.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
File permissions for FAT file systems are imitated,
|
|
since the file system has no real concept of permissions.
|
|
The default mask is taken from the
|
|
directory on which the file system is being mounted,
|
|
except when the
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
option is used.
|
|
FAT does have a
|
|
.Dq read only
|
|
mode,
|
|
in which the writable bit is unset.
|
|
If such files are found,
|
|
they are marked non-writable;
|
|
it can be set using
|
|
.Li chmod -w
|
|
or unset using
|
|
.Li chmod +w .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
File modes work the same way for directories.
|
|
However a directory will inherit the executable bit if it is readable.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr chmod 1
|
|
for more information about octal file modes.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility first appeared in
|
|
.Nx 0.9 .
|
|
Its predecessor, the
|
|
.Nm mount_pcfs
|
|
utility, appeared in
|
|
.Nx 0.8 ,
|
|
and was abandoned in favor
|
|
of the more aptly named
|
|
.Nm mount_msdos .
|
|
.Sh AUTHORS
|
|
.An -nosplit
|
|
The original code was written by
|
|
.An Paul Popelka Aq Mt paulp@uts.amdahl.com
|
|
as a patch to
|
|
.Bx 386 0.1
|
|
in November 1992.
|
|
The current version is based on code written by
|
|
.An Christopher G. Demetriou Aq Mt cgd@netbsd.org
|
|
in April 1994.
|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
The maximum file size supported by the MS-DOS file system is
|
|
one byte less than 4GB.
|
|
This is a FAT file system limitation, documented by Microsoft
|
|
in Knowledge Base article 314463.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The MS-DOS file system (even with long filenames) does not support
|
|
filenames with trailing dots or spaces.
|
|
Any such characters will be silently removed before the directory entry
|
|
is written.
|
|
This too is a FAT file system limitation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The use of the
|
|
.Fl 9
|
|
flag could result in damaged file systems,
|
|
albeit the damage is in part taken care of by
|
|
procedures similar to the ones used in Windows 95/98.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that Windows 95/98 handles only access dates,
|
|
but not access times.
