mount_dos

Mount DOS filesystems (QNX)

Syntax:

mount_dos DOS_block_special_file directory ...

Options:

DOS_block_special_file

The DOS block special file (e.g. /dev/fd0) to be mounted.

directory

Name of the resulting filesystem (e.g. /dos/a).

Description:

The mount_dos utility is used by the mount utility to mount DOS block special files as filesystems. It may also be run directly.

To succeed, mount_dos requires that the Fatfsys filesystem manager already be running.

Examples:

Typically, mount_dos is invoked via the mount utility. But if this isn't possible (e.g. if the device is being mounted from within the boot image), then you may run the mount_dos utility directly.

Start the Fatfsys manager, then mount the DOS "C" drive on /dev/hd0t6 as /dos/c:

Fatfsys & 
mount_dos /dev/hd0t6 /dos/c

Exit status:

0

Successful completion.

>0

An error occurred.
