The mount_msdos
command attaches the
MS-DOS file system residing on the device special to
the global file system namespace at the location indicated by
node. Both special and
node are converted to absolute paths before use. This
command is normally executed by
mount(8) at boot time, but can
be used by any user to mount an MS-DOS file system on any directory that
they own (provided, of course, that they have appropriate access to the
device that contains the file system).
Support for FAT16 and VFAT32 as well as long file names is available.
The options are as follows:
-9
-s
.-G
-s
.-g
gid-l
If neither -s
nor
-l
are given,
mount_msdos
searches the root directory of the
file system to be mounted for any existing Win'95 long filenames. If the
file system is not empty and no such entries are found,
-s
is the default. Otherwise
-l
is assumed.
-U
-U
flag interprets UNIX filenames as
UTF-8 and generates correctly encoded long filenames. This forces
-l
.-M
mask-m
is used if it is supplied and
-M
is omitted.-m
mask755
specifies that, by default,
the owner should have read, write, and execute permissions for files, but
others should only have read and execute permissions. See
chmod(1) for more information
about octal file modes.) Only the nine low-order bits of
mask are used. The value of
-M
is used if it is supplied and
-m
is omitted. The default mask is taken from the
directory on which the file system is being mounted.-o

The predecessor to mount_msdos
utility
named mount_pcfs
appeared in NetBSD
0.8. It was abandoned in favour of the more aptly-named
mount_msdos
in NetBSD 0.9
and rewritten entirely by NetBSD 1.0.
Initial implementation as mount_pcfs
was
written by Paul Popelka
<paulp@uts.amdahl.com>.
It was rewritten by Christopher G. Demetriou
<cgd@NetBSD.org>.
Compressed partitions are not supported.
The use of the -9
flag could result in
damaged file systems, albeit the damage is in part taken care of by
procedures similar to the ones used in Win'95.
