Name¶
mmount - mount an MSDOS disk
Note of warning¶
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete. See the end of
this man page for details.
Description¶
The mmount command is used to mount an MS-DOS disk. It is only available on
Linux, as it is only useful if the OS kernel allows to configure the disk
geometry. Its syntax is:
mmount
msdosdrive [
mountargs]
Mmount reads the boot sector of an MS-DOS disk, configures the drive geometry,
and finally mounts it passing mountargs to mount. If no mount arguments are
specified, the name of the device is used. If the disk is write protected, it
is automatically mounted read only.

Viewing the texi doc¶
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some items,
such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation
process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate representation in the manpage
format. Moreover, not all information has been translated into the manpage
version. Thus I strongly advise you to use the original texinfo doc. See the
end of this manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo doc.

- To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the
following commands:
./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
- *
- To generate a html copy, run:
./configure; make html
A premade html can be found at

- To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info
mode), run:
./configure; make info
The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in the info
version certain examples are difficult to read due to the quoting conventions
used in info.
