System Administration Commands mountufs(1M)
NAME
mountufs - mount ufs file systems
SYNOPSIS
mount -F ufs [genericoptions] [-o specificoptions]
[-O] special mountpoint
mount -F ufs [genericoptions] [-o specificoptions]
[-O] special mountpoint
DESCRIPTION
The mount utility attaches a ufs file system to the file
system hierarchy at the mountpoint, which is the pathname
of a directory. If mountpoint has any contents prior to the
mount operation, these are hidden until the file system is
unmounted.
The ufs file system supports direct mounting of files con-
taining the file system as well as block devices. See
mount(1M) and lofiadm(1M).
If mount is invoked with special or mountpoint as the only
arguments, mount will search /etc/vfstab to fill in the
missing arguments, including the specificoptions. See
mount(1M).
If special and mountpoint are specified without any
specificoptions, the default is rw.
If the directory on which a file system is to be mounted is
a symbolic link, the file system is mounted on the directory
to which the symbolic link refers, rather than on top of the
symbolic link itself.
OPTIONS
See mount(1M) for the list of supported genericoptions.
The following options are supported:
-o specificoptions
Specify ufs file system specific options in a comma-
separated list with no intervening spaces. If invalid
options are specified, a warning message is printed and
the invalid options are ignored. The following options

are available:
dfratime nodfratime
By default, writing access time updates to the disk
may be deferred (dfratime) for the file system until
the disk is accessed for a reason other than updat-
ing access times. nodfratime disables this behavior.
If power management is enabled on the system, do not
set nodfratime unless noatime is also set. If you
set nodfratime without setting noatime, the disk is
spun up every time a file within a file system on
the disk is accessed - even if the file is not modi-
fied.
forcedirectio noforcedirectio
If forcedirectio is specified and supported by the
file system, then for the duration of the mount,
forced direct I/O will be used. If the filesystem is
mounted using forcedirectio, data is transferred
directly between user address space and the disk. If
the filesystem is mounted using noforcedirectio,
data is buffered in kernel address space when data
is transferred between user address space and the
disk. forcedirectio is a performance option that is
of benefit only in large sequential data transfers.
The default behavior is noforcedirectio.
global noglobal
If global is specified and supported on the file
system, and the system in question is part of a
cluster, the file system will be globally visible on
all nodes of the cluster. If noglobal is specified,
the mount will not be globally visible. The default
behavior is noglobal.
intr nointr
Allow (do not allow) keyboard interrupts to kill a
process that is waiting for an operation on a locked
file system. The default is intr.
largefiles nolargefiles
If nolargefiles is specified and supported by the
SunOS 5.11 Last change: 15 Oct 2008 2
System Administration Commands mountufs(1M)
file system, then for the duration of the mount it
is guaranteed that all regular files in the file
system have a size that will fit in the smallest
object of type offt supported by the system per-
forming the mount. The mount will fail if there are
any files in the file system not meeting this cri-
terion. If largefiles is specified, there is no such
guarantee. The default behavior is largefiles.
If nolargefiles is specified, mount will fail for
ufs if the file system to be mounted has contained a
large file (a file whose size is greater than or
equal to 2 Gbyte) since the last invocation of fsck
on the file system. The large file need not be
present in the file system at the time of the mount
for the mount to fail; it could have been created
previously and destroyed. Invoking fsck (see
fsckufs(1M)) on the file system will reset the file
system state if no large files are present. After
invoking fsck, a successful mount of the file system
with nolargefiles specified indicates the absence of
large files in the file system; an unsuccessful
mount attempt indicates the presence of at least one
large file.
logging nologging
If logging is specified, then logging is enabled for
the duration of the mounted file system. Logging is
the process of storing transactions (changes that
make up a complete UFS operation) in a log before
the transactions are applied to the file system.
Once a transaction is stored, the transaction can be
applied to the file system later. This prevents
file systems from becoming inconsistent, therefore
reducing the possibility that fsck might run. And,
if fsck is bypassed, logging generally reduces the
time required to reboot a system.
The default behavior is logging for all UFS file
systems.
The log is allocated from free blocks in the file
system, and is sized approximately 1 Mbyte per 1
Gbyte of file system, up to a maximum of 64 Mbytes.
Logging is enabled on any UFS file system, including
root (/), except under the following conditions:
o When logging is specifically disabled.

o If there is insufficient file system space
for the log. In this case, the following
message is displayed and file system is
still mounted:
# mount /dev/dsk/c0t4d0s0 /mnt
/mnt: No space left on device
Could not enable logging for /mnt on /dev/dsk/c0t4d0s0.
The log created by UFS logging is continually
flushed as it fills up. The log is totally flushed
when the file system is unmounted or as a result of
the lockfs -f command.
m
Mount the file system without making an entry in
/etc/mnttab.
noatime
By default, the file system is mounted with normal
access time (atime) recording. If noatime is speci-
fied, the file system will ignore access time
updates on files, except when they coincide with
updates to the ctime or mtime. See stat(2). This
option reduces disk activity on file systems where
access times are unimportant (for example, a Usenet
news spool).
noatime turns off access time recording regardless
of dfratime or nodfratime.
The POSIX standard requires that access times be
marked on files. -noatime ignores them unless the
file is also modified.
nosec
By default, Access Control Lists (ACLs) are sup-
ported on a mounted UFS file system. Use this option
to disallow the setting or any modification of an
ACL on a file within a mounted UFS file system. See
getfacl(1) for background on ACLs.
onerror = action
SunOS 5.11 Last change: 15 Oct 2008 4
System Administration Commands mountufs(1M)
This option specifies the action that UFS should
take to recover from an internal inconsistency on a
file system. Specify action as panic, lock, or
umount. These values cause a forced system shutdown,
a file system lock to be applied to the file system,
or the file system to be forcibly unmounted, respec-
tively. The default is panic.
quota
Quotas are turned on for the file system.
remount
Remounts a file system with a new set of options.
All options not explicitly set with remount revert
to their default values.
rq
Read-write with quotas turned on. Equivalent to rw,
quota.
-O
Overlay mount. Allow the file system to be mounted over
an existing mount point, making the underlying file sys-
tem inaccessible. If a mount is attempted on a pre-
existing mount point without setting this flag, the
mount will fail, producing the error "device busy".
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Turning Off (and On) Logging
The following command turns off logging on an already
mounted file system. The subsequent command restores log-
ging.
# mount -F ufs -o remount,nologging /export
# (absence of message indicates success)
# mount -F ufs -o remount,logging /export

sary.

NOTES
Since the root (/) file system is mounted read-only by the
kernel during the boot process, only the remount option (and
options that can be used in conjunction with remount) affect
the root (/) entry in the /etc/vfstab file.
