To link into the kernel:

.Cd "options MSDOSFS"

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
driver will permit the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fx
|
|
|
|
|
kernel to read and write
|
|
|
|
|
.Em msdos
|
|
|
|
|
based file systems.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The most common usage follows:
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
.Dl "# mount_msdosfs /dev/ad0sN /dos
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
where
|
|
|
|
|
.Sy N
|
|
|
|
|
is the partition number and
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa /mnt
|
|
|
|
|
is a mount point directory in the root file system.
|
|
|
|
|
Some users tend to create a
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa /dos
|
|
|
|
|
directory for
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
mount points.
|
|
|
|
|
This helps to keep better track of the file system,
|
|
|
|
|
and make it more easily accessible.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
It is possible to define an entry in
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/fstab
|
|
|
|
|
that looks similar to:

This will mount an
|
|
|
|
|
.Em msdos
|
|
|
|
|
based partition at the
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa /dos
|
|
|
|
|
mount point during system boot.
|
|
|
|
|
Using
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa /mnt
|
|
|
|
|
as a permanent mount point is not advised as its intention
|
|
|
|
|
has always been to be a temporary mount point for floppy and
|
|
|
|
|
zip disks.
