mount_pcfs(1M) System Administration Commands mount_pcfs(1M)NAMEmount_pcfs - mount pcfs file systems
SYNOPSIS
mount -F pcfs [generic_options]
[-o FSType-specific_options] special | mount_point
mount -F pcfs [generic_options]
[-o FSType-specific_options] special mount_point
DESCRIPTION
mount attaches an MS-DOS file system (pcfs) to the file system hierar‐
chy 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 arguments,
mount will search /etc/vfstab to fill in the missing arguments, includ‐
ing the FSType-specific_options; see mount(1M) for more details.
The special argument can be one of two special device file types:
o A floppy disk, such as /dev/diskette0 or /dev/diskette1.
o A DOS logical drive on a hard disk expressed as device-
name:logical-drive , where device-name specifies the special
block device-file for the whole disk and logical-drive is
either a drive letter (c through z) or a drive number (1
through 24). Examples are /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:c and
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:1.
The special device file type must have a formatted MS-DOS file system
with either a 12-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit File Allocation Table.
OPTIONS
generic_options
See mount(1M) for the list of supported options.
-o
Specify pcfs file system-specific options. The following options
are supported:
foldcase | nofoldcase
Force uppercase characters in filenames to lowercase when read‐
ing them from the filesystem. This is for compatibility with
the previous behavior of pcfs. The default is nofoldcase.
hidden | nohidden
Allow or disallow listing of files with hidden or system bits
set. Option hidden is the default. When nohidden is effect,
hidden and system files are neither visible nor accessible.
Note that PCFS in previous releases of the Solaris operating
system used the nohidden option as the default.
atime | noatime
Enable or disable write access timestamps on DOS-formatted
media. Default for fixed disks is atime, while for removable
media noatime is used. The latter default is so that writes to
flash-based media ("memory sticks") can be minimized, to pro‐
long lifetime.
timezone=timezone
Timestamps on DOS-formatted media are recorded in the local
time of the recording system. This can cause confusion when
accessing removable media in which the recording and receiving
system use different time zones. Use this option to force media
timestamps to be interpreted for a specific time zone. The
mount_pcfs command converts the given time zone name into a
numerical offset that is passed to the pcfs kernel module,
using the same rules as described in environ(5) for the TZ
environment variable. By default, the timezone value is taken
from the TZ environment variable.

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.
