54 command attaches the MS-DOS filesystem residing on
57 to the global filesystem namespace at the location
60 This command is normally executed by
62 at boot time, but can be used by any user to mount an
63 MS-DOS file system on any directory that they own (provided,
64 of course, that they have appropriate access to the device that
65 contains the file system).
67 The options are as follows:
70 Use the specified mount
74 or one of the MS-DOS filesystem-specific options
79 all of which can be used to affect Windows name translation in the
80 underlying filesystem.
82 Set the owner of the files in the file system to
84 The default owner is the owner of the directory
85 on which the file system is being mounted.
87 Set the group of the files in the file system to
89 The default group is the group of the directory
90 on which the file system is being mounted.
92 Specify the maximum file permissions for files
98 specifies that, by default, the owner should have
99 read, write, and execute permissions for files, but
100 others should only have read and execute permissions.

104 Only the nine low-order bits of
110 directory on which the file system is being mounted.
113 ignore and not generate Win'95 long filenames.
115 Force listing and generation of
116 Win'95 long filenames
117 and separate creation/modification/access dates.
125 searches the root directory of the filesystem to
126 be mounted for any existing Win'95 long filenames.
127 If no such entries are found, but short DOS filenames are found,
134 Ignore the special Win'95 directory entries even
135 if deleting or renaming a file.
139 .\"This option causes the filesystem to be interpreted as an Atari-Gemdos
140 .\"filesystem. The differences to the MS-DOS filesystem are minimal and
141 .\"limited to the boot block. This option enforces

179 albeit the damage is in part taken care of by
180 procedures similar to the ones used in Win'95.

186 Cluster sizes larger than 16K are unavoidable for file system sizes
187 larger than 1G, and also occur when filesystems larger than 1G are
188 shrunk to smaller than 1G using FIPS.
