MOUNT_STD(8)		  BSD System Manager's Manual		  MOUNT_STD(8)

NAME
     mount_std,	mount_devfs, mount_fdescfs, mount_linprocfs, mount_procfs --
     mount "standard" file systems

SYNOPSIS
     mount_fsname [-o options] fs mount_point

DESCRIPTION
     The mount_std utility is a	generic	mechanism for attaching	``standard''
     file systems to the file system.  The mount_std utility currently sup-
     ports the following file systems: devfs, fdescfs, linprocfs and procfs.
     A ``standard'' file system	is one which:

	   1.	accepts	only the standard -o options "ro", "rw", "nodev",
		"noexec", "nosuid", and	"union".

	   2.	has a kernel file system module	name the same as its user-vis-
		ible name.

	   3.	requires no other special processing on	the part of the
		mount_std utility.

     The options are as	follows:

     -o	     Options are specified with	a -o flag followed by a	comma sepa-
	     rated string of options.  See the mount(8)	man page for possible
	     options and their meanings.

     The mount_std utility examines its	zeroth command-line argument (the name
     by	which it was called) to	determine the type of file system to be
     mounted.  If it is	called by a name which does not	end in "_fsname",
     mount_std will assume (for	compatibility with mount(8)) that the zeroth
     argument contains only the	name of	the file system	type.  The mount_std
     utility is	normally installed with	appropriate links to commands for the
     distributed file systems which can	be mounted in this way;	for informa-
     tion on the function of each file system, see the manual page for that
     specific mount_fsname utility.

     Refer to the following manual pages for detailed information on these
     file system: devfs(5), fdescfs(5),	linprocfs(5) and procfs(5).

DIAGNOSTICS
     argv[0] must end in _fsname  The mount_std	utility	was called with	a ze-
     roth argument of "mount_std".

     %s	file system not	available  The specified file system type was not
     present in	the kernel and no loadable module for it was found.

HISTORY
     The mount_std utility first appeared in FreeBSD 2.2.  Loadable file sys-
     tem modules first appeared	in FreeBSD 2.0.	 The "fdescfs" and "procfs"
     file system types first appeared in FreeBSD 2.0; the "devfs" file system
     type first	appeared in FreeBSD 2.2; the "linprocfs" file system type
     first appeared in FreeBSD 4.0.
