MSDOS.UTIL(8)

NAME
msdos.util - helps mount, probe, and unmount msdos filesystems

SYNOPSIS
msdos.util [-mM mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4] device mount_point

msdos.util [-p mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4] device

msdos.util [-nu] device

DESCRIPTION
msdos.util helps to coordinate the mounting, probing, and unmounting of msdos filesystems. It essentially wraps mount(8) and it's ilk in one interface that is generic enough for the disk mounter to work with, so that the underlying mount commands do not have to fit into one mold. This allows us to more easily port mount commands without forcing us to reorder or redo the command itself or the disk mounter to understand each specific mount command.

Options:

-m mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4
    mount

-M mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4
    force mount

-n  new UUID key

-p mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4
    probe for mounting

-u  unmount

mountflags above are either:

•   removable or fixed

•   readonly or writeable

•   suid or nosuid

•   dev or nodev
