mount_hsfs(1M) System Administration Commands mount_hsfs(1M)NAMEmount_hsfs - mount hsfs file systems
SYNOPSIS
mount -F hsfs [generic_options] [-o FSType-specific_options] [-O ]
special | mount_point
mount -F hsfs [generic_options] [-o FSType-specific_options] [-O] spe‐
cial mount_point
DESCRIPTION
mount attaches a High Sierra file system (hsfs) to the file system
hierarchy at the mount_point, which is the pathname of a directory. If
mount_point has any contents prior to the mount operation, these are
hidden until the file system is unmounted.
If mount is invoked with special or mount_point as the only argu‐
ments, mount will search /etc/vfstab to fill in the missing argu‐
ments, including the FSType-specific_options; see mount(1M) for more
details.
If the file system being mounted contains Rock Ridge extensions, by
default they will be used, enabling support of features not normally
available under High Sierra file systems such as symbolic links, and
special files.
OPTIONS
generic_options
See mount(1M) for the list of supported options.
-o
Specify hsfs file system specific options. If invalid options are
specified, a warning message is printed and the invalid options are
ignored. The following options are available:
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.
ro
Mount the file system read-only. This option is required.
nrr
no Rock Ridge: if Rock Ridge extensions are present in the file
system, ignore them; interpret it as a regular High Sierra
file system.
notraildot
File names on High Sierra file systems consist of a proper name
and an extension separated by a '.' (dot) character. By
default, the separating dot is always considered part of the
file's name for all file access operations, even if there is no
extension present. Specifying notraildot makes it optional to
specify the trailing dot to access a file whose name lacks an
extension.
Exceptions: This option is effective only on file systems for
which Rock Ridge extensions are not active, either because they
are not present on the CD-ROM, or they are explicitly ignored
via the nrr option. If Rock Ridge extensions are active, hsfs
quietly ignores this option.
nomaplcase
File names on High Sierra cdroms with no Rock Ridge extensions
present should be uppercase characters only. By default, hsfs
maps file names read from a non-Rock Ridge disk to all lower‐
case characters. nomaplcase turns off this mapping. The excep‐
tions for notraildot discused above apply to nomaplcase.
-O
Overlay mount. Allow the file system to be mounted over an exist‐
ing mount point, making the underlying file system inaccessible.
If a mount is attempted on a pre-existing mount point without set‐
ting this flag, the mount will fail, producing the error device
busy.

NOTES
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.
