The Linux mount command
Use the following syntax to mount a filesystem. The directory mountpoint must already
exist.
mount -t psfs -o options device mountpoint
The device can be either a psd or psv device. Use this syntax to specify the device:
• For a psd device partition, the device is specified as /dev/psd/psdXXXpYY,
where XXX is the drive number and YY is the partition number. For example, /
dev/psd/psd6p4 specifies partition 4 on disk psd6.
• For a non-partitioned psd device, the device is specified as /dev/psd/psdXXX,
where XXX is the drive number. For example, /dev/psd/psd5.
• For a psv device, the device is specified as /dev/psv/psvXXX, where XXX is
the volume number. For example, /dev/psv/psv1.
For example, the following command mounts the filesystem on the partition /dev/
psd/psd12p6 in read-write mode at the mountpoint /data1.
mount -t psfs -o rw /dev/psd/psd12p6 /data1
If you are mounting a filesystem with quotas, you will need to include the following
options to enable the user and/or group quota functionality of the Linux quota
commands:
• For user quotas, specify either -o usrquota or -o quota.
• For group quotas, specify -o grpquota.
If the SELinux security policy is set to “enforcing,” the mount context option must
be specified as follows when mounting a PSFS filesystem:
-o context=system_u:object_r:nfs_t
The following mount options are not supported:
• The -o atime option. Instead, use the PSFS filesystem atime update feature.
(See Configure atime updates, page 151.)
• Use of the remount option to change the way a filesystem is mounted. For ex-
ample, you cannot use mount -o remount,rw to remount a filesystem as read-
write if it was originally mounted read-only.
The mount operation ignores any options that are not supported by the PSFS filesystem.
See mount_psfs(8) for more information.
