11/3/71 SYS MOUNT (II) NAME mount -- mount file system SYNOPSIS sys mount; special; name / mount = 21.; not in assembler DESCRIPTION mount announces to the system that a removable file system has been mounted on special file special; from now on, references to file name will refer to the root file on the newly mounted file system. Special and name are pointers to null--terminated strings containing the appropriate path names. Name must exist already. If it had useful contents, they are inaccessible while the file system is mounted. Almost always, name should be a directory so that an entire file system, not just one file, may exist on the removable device. FILES SEE ALSO umount DIAGNOSTICS Error bit (c--bit) set if special is inaccessible or dir does not exist. BUGS At most one removable device can be mounted at a time. The use of this call should be restricted to the super--user. OWNER ken, dmr
