.Dt MOUNT 2
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm mount ,
.Nm unmount
.Nd mount or dismount a filesystem
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/types.h
.In sys/mount.h
.Ft int
.Fn mount "const char *type" "const char *dir" "int flags" "void *data"
.Ft int
.Fn unmount "const char *dir" "int flags"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn mount
function grafts
a filesystem object onto the system file tree
at the point
.Fa dir .
The argument
.Fa data
describes the filesystem object to be mounted.
The argument
.Fa type
tells the kernel how to interpret
.Fa data
(see
.Fa type
below).
The contents of the filesystem
become available through the new mount point
.Fa dir .
Any files in
.Fa dir
at the time
of a successful mount are swept under the carpet, so to speak, and
are unavailable until the filesystem is unmounted.
.Pp
The following
.Fa flags
may be specified to
suppress default semantics which affect filesystem access.
.Bl -tag -width MNT_SYNCHRONOUS
.It Dv MNT_RDONLY
The filesystem should be treated as read-only:
even the superuser may not write to it.
.It Dv MNT_NOATIME
Do not update the access time on files in the filesystem unless
the modification or status change times are also being updated.
.It Dv MNT_NOEXEC
Do not allow files to be executed from the filesystem.
.It Dv MNT_NOSUID
Do not honor setuid or setgid bits on files when executing them.
.It Dv MNT_NODEV
Do not interpret special files on the filesystem.
.It Dv MNT_SYNCHRONOUS
All I/O to the filesystem should be done synchronously.
.It Dv MNT_ASYNC
All I/O to the filesystem should be done asynchronously.
.It Dv MNT_SOFTDEP
Use soft dependencies on an FFS filesystem.
This flag is provided for compatibility only and has no effect on
.Ox .
.It Dv MNT_WXALLOWED
Processes that ask for memory to be made writeable plus executable
using the
.Xr mmap 2
and
.Xr mprotect 2
system calls are killed by default.
This option allows those processes to continue operation.
The option is typically used on the
.Pa /usr/local
filesystem.
.El
.Pp
The flag
.Dv MNT_UPDATE
indicates that the mount command is being applied
to an already mounted filesystem.
This allows the mount flags to be changed without requiring
that the filesystem be unmounted and remounted.
Some filesystems may not allow all flags to be changed.
For example,
most filesystems will not allow a change from read-write to read-only.
.Pp
The
.Fa type
argument defines the type of the filesystem.
The types of filesystems known to the system are defined in
.In sys/mount.h .
.Fa data
is a pointer to a structure that contains the type
specific arguments to mount.
The currently supported types of filesystems and
their type specific data are:

.Pp
The
.Fn unmount
function call disassociates the filesystem from the specified
mount point
.Fa dir .
.Pp
The
.Fa flags
argument may specify
.Dv MNT_FORCE
to specify that the filesystem should be forcibly unmounted even if files are
still active.
Active special devices continue to work,
but any further accesses to any other active files result in errors
even if the filesystem is later remounted.

.Sh HISTORY
The
.Fn mount
and
.Fn umount
system calls first appeared in
.At v1 ;
.Fn umount
was renamed to
.Fn unmount
in
.Bx 4.3 Reno .
.Pp
The
.Fa flags
argument is supported by
.Fn mount
since
.At v5
and by
.Fn unmount
since
.Bx 4.3 Reno .
The current calling convention involving
.Fa type
and
.Fa data
arguments was introduced by
.Bx 4.3 Reno
as well.
.Sh BUGS
Some of the error codes need translation to more obvious messages.
