How to Mount From the Command Line

To manually mount a file system during normal operation, run the mount command as superuser:

# mount -F nfs -o ro bee:/export/share/local /mnt

In this case, the /export/share/local file system from the server bee is mounted on read-only /mnt on the local system. Mounting from the command line allows for temporary viewing of the file system. You can unmount the file system with umount or by rebooting the local host.

The version of the mount command released in Solaris 2.6 and in future patches will not warn about invalid options. The command silently ignores any options that cannot be interpreted. Make sure to verify all of the options that were used to prevent unexpected behavior.
