mount Command

With this command, you can attach a named file system, either local or remote, to a specified mount point. For more information, see the mount(8) man page. Used without arguments, mount displays a list of file systems that are currently mounted on your computer.

Each file system type included in the standard Oracle Solaris installation has specific options for the mount command. For NFS file systems options, see the mount_nfs(8) man page. For UFS file system options, see the mount_ufs(8) man page.

You can select a path name to mount from an NFS server by using an NFS URL instead of the standard server:/pathname syntax. See How to Mount an NFS File System by Using an NFS URL for further information.

Caution:

The mount command does not warn about invalid options. The command silently ignores any options that cannot be interpreted. Ensure that you verify all of the options that were used so that you can prevent unexpected behavior.
