MOUNT_HPFS(8) System Manager's Manual MOUNT_HPFS(8)

NAME

mount_hpfsmount an HPFS file system

SYNOPSIS

mount_hpfs [-o options] [-u uid] [-g gid] [-m mask] special node

DESCRIPTION

The mount_hpfs utility attaches the HPFS file system residing on the device special to the global file system 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 HPFS 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:
-u uid
Set the owner of the files in the file system to uid. The default owner is the owner of the directory on which the file system is being mounted.
-g gid
Set the group of the files in the file system to gid. The default group is the group of the directory on which the file system is being mounted.
-m mask
Specify the maximum file permissions for files in the file system.

EXAMPLES

To mount an hpfs volume located in /dev/wd1s1:
# mount_hpfs /dev/wd1s1 /mnt

WRITING

There is limited writing ability and it is not well-tested. It is strongly recommended to mount readonly!
