- This is a really quick hack interface to the mount functions.
- If "mount" doesn't mean anything to you then leave it alone. Otherwise
- the useage is:
-
- mount X:\pathmame\mounted Y:
-
- This mounts Y: on X:\pathname\mounted . Any reference to this directory (or
- subdirectories in it) gets sent to Y: instead. Any reference to Y: (e.g. Y:\)
- gets sent to X:. Both X: and Y: must be Minixfs partitions. The rules about
- what is allowed are:
- 1. X: and Y: must be different drives.
- 2. Y: can't have any filesystems mounted on it already (but X: can).
- 3. You must mount on an already existing directory other than the root
- directory.
-
- The other useage is:
-
- mount -u X:\pathname\mounted
-
- Which umounts the device this path is on. Note: if you used the example above
- then Y: wouldn't do as a pathname because it now references X:. This option
- uses a horrid hack which may not work with all versions of MiNT, but a quick
- hack is better than nothing at all.
-
- Also note, mounting is very much "under construction", and all manner of bugs
- could be present: so be careful!
