.Sh NAME
.Nm mount_lfs
.Nd mount a log-structured file system
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl bdins
.Op Fl N Ar nsegs
.Op Fl o Ar options
.Ar special
.Ar node
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
command attaches a log-structured file system
.Ar special
device on to the file system tree at the point
.Ar node .
Both
.Ar special
and
.Ar node
are converted to absolute paths before use.
In addition, the
.Xr lfs_cleanerd 8
utility is invoked to clean the file system periodically.
.Pp
This command is normally executed by
.Xr mount 8
at boot time.
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl b
Instruct the cleaner to count bytes written, rather than segments read,
to determine how many segments to clean at once.
.It Fl d
Run
.Xr lfs_cleanerd 8
in debug mode.
.It Fl i
Instruct the cleaner to use filesystem idle time as the criterion
for aggressive cleaning, instead of system load.
.It Fl o
Options are specified with a
.Fl o
flag followed by a comma separated string of options.
See the
.Xr mount 8
man page for possible options and their meanings.
.It Fl N Ar nsegs
Clean
.Ar nsegs
segments (or bytes' worth of segments if
.Fl b
is also specified) at a time.
.It Fl n
Don't start
.Xr lfs_cleanerd 8
on the file system.
.It Fl s
Cause
.Xr lfs_cleanerd 8
to read data in small chunks when cleaning the file system.
