specified directory is not found in the mount list. Before the MNT_BYFSID changes, unmount(2) used to return ENOENT for a nonexistent path and EINVAL for a non-mountpoint, but we can no longer distinguish between these cases. Of the two error codes, EINVAL was more likely to occur in practice, and it was the only one of the two that was documented. Update the manual page to match the current behaviour.

.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm mount ,
|
|
.Nm unmount
|
|
.Nd mount or dismount a file system
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/param.h
|
|
.In sys/mount.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn mount "const char *type" "const char *dir" "int flags" "void *data"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn unmount "const char *dir" "int flags"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mount
|
|
system call grafts
|
|
a file system object onto the system file tree
|
|
at the point
|
|
.Fa dir .
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa data
|
|
describes the file system object to be mounted.
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa type
|
|
tells the kernel how to interpret
|
|
.Fa data
|
|
(See
|
|
.Fa type
|
|
below).
|
|
The contents of the file system
|
|
become available through the new mount point
|
|
.Fa dir .
|
|
Any files in
|
|
.Fa dir
|
|
at the time
|
|
of a successful mount are swept under the carpet so to speak, and
|
|
are unavailable until the file system is unmounted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
By default only the super-user may call the
|
|
.Fn mount
|
|
system call.
|
|
This restriction can be removed by setting the
|
|
.Va vfs.usermount
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
variable
|
|
to a non-zero value.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
may be specified to
|
|
suppress default semantics which affect file system access.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width MNT_SYNCHRONOUS
|
|
.It Dv MNT_RDONLY
|
|
The file system should be treated as read-only;
|
|
even the super-user may not write on it.
|
|
Specifying MNT_UPDATE without this option will upgrade
|
|
a read-only file system to read/write.
|
|
.It Dv MNT_NOEXEC
|
|
Do not allow files to be executed from the file system.
|
|
.It Dv MNT_NOSUID
|
|
Do not honor setuid or setgid bits on files when executing them.
|
|
This flag is set automatically when the caller is not the super-user.
|
|
.It Dv MNT_NOATIME
|
|
Disable update of file access times.
|
|
.It Dv MNT_NODEV
|
|
Do not interpret special files on the file system.
|
|
This flag is set automatically when the caller is not the super-user.
|
|
.It Dv MNT_SUIDDIR
|
|
Directories with the SUID bit set chown new files to their own owner.
|
|
This flag requires the SUIDDIR option to have been compiled into the kernel
|
|
to have any effect.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Xr mount 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr chmod 2
|
|
pages for more information.
|
|
.It Dv MNT_SYNCHRONOUS
|
|
All I/O to the file system should be done synchronously.
|
|
.It Dv MNT_ASYNC
|
|
All I/O to the file system should be done asynchronously.
|
|
.It Dv MNT_FORCE
|
|
Force a read-write mount even if the file system appears to be unclean.
|
|
Dangerous.
|
|
Together with
|
|
.Dv MNT_UPDATE
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv MNT_RDONLY ,
|
|
specify that the file system is to be forcibly downgraded to a read-only
|
|
mount even if some files are open for writing.
|
|
.It Dv MNT_NOCLUSTERR
|
|
Disable read clustering.
|
|
.It Dv MNT_NOCLUSTERW
|
|
Disable write clustering.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The flag
|
|
.Dv MNT_UPDATE
|
|
indicates that the mount command is being applied
|
|
to an already mounted file system.
|
|
This allows the mount flags to be changed without requiring
|
|
that the file system be unmounted and remounted.
|
|
Some file systems may not allow all flags to be changed.
|
|
For example,
|
|
many file systems will not allow a change from read-write to read-only.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The flag
|
|
.Dv MNT_RELOAD
|
|
causes the vfs subsystem to update its data structures pertaining to
|
|
the specified already mounted file system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa type
|
|
argument names the file system.
|
|
The types of file systems known to the system can be obtained with
|
|
.Xr lsvfs 1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa data
|
|
argument
|
|
is a pointer to a structure that contains the type
|
|
specific arguments to mount.
|
|
The format for these argument structures is described in the
|
|
manual page for each file system.
|
|
By convention file system manual pages are named
|
|
by prefixing ``mount_'' to the name of the file system as returned by
|
|
.Xr lsvfs 1 .
|
|
Thus the
|
|
.Tn NFS
|
|
file system is described by the
|
|
.Xr mount_nfs 8
|
|
manual page.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn unmount
|
|
system call disassociates the file system from the specified
|
|
mount point
|
|
.Fa dir .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
argument may include
|
|
.Dv MNT_FORCE
|
|
to specify that the file system should be forcibly unmounted
|
|
even if files are still active.
|
|
Active special devices continue to work,
|
|
but any further accesses to any other active files result in errors
|
|
even if the file system is later remounted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Dv MNT_BYFSID
|
|
flag is specified,
|
|
.Fa dir
|
|
should instead be a file system ID encoded as
|
|
.Dq Li FSID : Ns Ar val0 : Ns Ar val1 ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar val0
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar val1
|
|
are the contents of the
|
|
.Vt fsid_t
|
|
.Va val[]
|
|
array in decimal.
|
|
The file system that has the specified file system ID will be unmounted.
