.Dd August 14, 1998 .Dt MOUNT_FILECORE 8 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm mount_filecore .Nd mount a FILECORE file system .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm "" .Op Fl o Ar options .Op Fl a .Op Fl n .Op Fl R .Op Fl f .Op Fl u Ar uid .Op Fl g Ar gid
a special node .Sh ORIGIN The .Nx 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 frquently are considered to be different filesystems e.g. ADFS, IDEFS, SCSIFS etc. .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm command attaches the FILECORE filesystem residing on the device
a special to the global filesystem namespace at the location indicated by
a node . This command is normally executed by .Xr 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).
p The options are as follows: l -tag -width Ds t Fl o Ar options Use the specified mount .Ar options , as described in .Xr mount 8 . t Fl u Ar uid Set the owner of the files in the file system to .Ar uid . The default owner is the owner of the directory on which the file system is being mounted. t Fl g Ar gid Set the group of the files in the file system to .Ar gid . The default group is the group of the directory on which the file system is being mounted. t Fl a Give all files world access. t Fl n Give all files owner access. t Fl R Give all files owner read access. t Fl f Append the filetype to each filename. This option currently has no effect. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr mount 2 , .Xr unmount 2 , .Xr fstab 5 , .Xr mount 8 .Sh CAVEATS The .Sq filecore filesystem currently supports the Acorn filecore file system found on Acorn Computers RiscPC desktop machines with versions of RISC OS upto 3.70. .Sh HISTORY The .Nm utility first appeared in .Nx 1.4 .
