mount_cifs, umount_cifs
Mounts and unmounts CIFS file systems. This section describes the
usage of the mount and umount commands when the CIFS filesystem is
specified for the FS type
Synopsis
mount -F cifs [-ar] [-o fs_specific_option[,...]] [server:/share
mount_point]
umount -aF cifs | mount_point
Description
The mount command mounts file systems. Only a superuser can mount
file systems. Other users can use mount to list mounted file systems.
Use cifslist to view CIFS-specific mounts and user connections.
The mount command attaches server:/share to mount_point. server is a
remote system. share is a directory on this remote system and
mount_point is a directory on the local file tree. mount_point must
already exist, and be given as an absolute path name. It will become the
name of the root of the newly mounted file system.
If mount is invoked without any arguments, it lists all of the mounted file
systems from the file system mount table, /etc/mnttab.
The umount command unmounts currently-mounted file systems. Only a
superuser can unmount file systems.
In HP CIFS Server A.02.01, unmounting the last mount to a server does
not logout any of the users logged in at the server. This new behavior
allows users to be automatically reconnected if the user needs to
unmount and remount a share.
Options
-F cifs Filesystem-specific identifier. Always required for
mounting and unmounting CIFS file systems, except
for the command form umount moint_point.
