NAME
mount_cd9660
- mount an ISO-9660 filesystem
SYNOPSIS
mount_cd9660
[-egjr
]
[-o options
]
[-s startsector
]
special | node
DESCRIPTION
The
mount_cd9660
command attaches the ISO-9660 filesystem residing on the device
special
to the global filesystem namespace at the location indicated by
node
This command is normally executed by
mount(8)
at boot time.
The options are as follows:
- -e
-
Enable the use of extended attributes.
- -g
-
Do not strip version numbers on files.
(By default, if there are files with different version numbers on the disk,
only the last one will be listed.)
In either case, files may be opened without explicitly stating a
version number.
- -j
-
Do not use any Joliet extensions included in the filesystem.
- -o
-
Options are specified with a
-o
flag followed by a comma separated string of options.
See the
mount(8)
man page for possible options and their meanings.
- -r
-
Do not use any Rockridge extensions included in the filesystem.
- -s startsector
-
Start the filesystem at
startsector
Normally, if the underlying device is a CD-ROM drive,
mount_cd9660
will try to figure out the last track from the CD-ROM containing
data, and start the filesystem there. If the device is not a CD-ROM,
or the table of contents cannot be examined, the filesystem will be
started at sector 0. This option can be used to override the behaviour.
Note that
startsector
is measured in CD-ROM blocks, with 2048 bytes each.

BUGS
POSIX device node mapping is currently not supported.
Version numbers are not stripped if Rockridge extensions are in use.
In this case, accessing files that don't have Rockridge names without
version numbers gets the one with the lowest version number and not
the one with the highest.
There is no ECMA support.
HISTORY
The
mount_cd9660
utility first appeared 4.4BSD.
