NAME¶
vfs_mount — generic file system mount functionSYNOPSIS¶
#include <sys/param.h>#include <sys/mount.h> int
vfs_mount(struct thread *td, const char *fstype, char *fspath, int fsflags, void *fsdata);
DESCRIPTION¶
The vfs_mount() function handles the generic portion of mounting a file system, and calls the file system specific mount function after verifying its parameters and setting up the structures expected by the underlying mount code. vfs_mount() is called directly by the mount(2) system call. Its arguments are:- td
- The thread responsible for this call.
- fstype
- The type of file system being mounted.
- fspath
- The path to the mount point of the file system.
- fsflags
- Flags controlling the mount. See mount(2)
for details.

RETURN VALUES¶
A 0 value is returned on success.ERRORS¶
- [
ENAMETOOLONG
] - The fs type or the mount point path is too long or any individual path component is too long.
- [
EPERM
] - Permission denied. There are a number of reason this can occur ranging from the user not having permission to mount a file system to the securelevel being to high to load the fstype module.
- [
EINVAL
] - Invalid operation (ex: trying to update a non mount-point).
- [
ENOENT
] - The mount point does not exist (from namei()).
- [
ELOOP
] - The mount point is a muddle of links (from namei()).
- [
EOPNOTSUPP
] - The operation is not supported (ex: reloading a r/w file system).
- [
EBUSY
] - The mount point is busy or is not really a mount point (on update).
- [
ENOTDIR
] - The mount point is not a directory.
- [
ENODEV
] - The kernel linker was unable to load the specified fstype or was unable to find the specified fstype module.
