NAME
mount_filecore
- mount a FILECORE file system
SYNOPSIS
mount_filecore
[-afnR]
[-g gid]
[-o options]
[-u uid]
special
node
ORIGIN
The
NetBSD
FILECORE filesystem is a read only implementation of the filecore file system
found in Acorn Computers RISC OS operating system.
This operating system is the ROM based operating system
found on their ARM 6, ARM7 and StrongARM 110 based RiscPC machines
that are supported by the arm32 port.
Under RISC OS, filecore will have multiple instantiations for file
systems on different block devices such as floppies, IDE discs, SCSI discs
etc. and these frequently are considered to be different filesystems
e.g. ADFS, IDEFS, SCSIFS etc.
DESCRIPTION
The
mount_filecore
command attaches the FILECORE filesystem residing on
the device
special
to the global filesystem 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 a
FILECORE file system on any directory that they own (provided,
of course, that they have appropriate access to the device that
contains the file system).
The options are as follows:
- -a
-
Give all files world access.
- -f
-
Append the filetype to each filename.
This option currently has no effect.
- -g gid
-
Set the group of the files in the file system to
gid.
The default group is the group of the directory
on which the file system is being mounted.
- -n
-
Give all files owner access.
- -o options
-
Use the specified mount
options,
as described in
mount(8).
- -R
-
Give all files owner read access.
- -u uid
-
Set the owner of the files in the file system to
uid.
The default owner is the owner of the directory
on which the file system is being mounted.

The
mount_filecore
utility first appeared in
NetBSD1.4.
CAVEATS
The
`filecore'
filesystem currently supports the Acorn filecore file system found on
Acorn Computers RiscPC desktop machines with versions of RISC OS up to 3.70.
