Re: using mount

Am Samstag den, 30. Mdrz 2002, um 05:54, schrieb John J. Francini:

Tru64 UNIX, for example, has a single command interface for dealing with disks -- mount/umount. Depending on what it's mounting, it calls various subprograms to do the actual dirty work:

o UFS: handles internally
o AdvFS (log-based filesystem): mount_advfs
o CDFS: mount_cdfs
o MFS (ram disk): mount_mfs
o NFS: mount_nfs

None of these programs can be run interactively; they're all run indirectly after mount/umount has parsed the command line.

John,

this describes what Darwin does:

Nobile:~$ ls /sbin/mount*
/sbin/mount /sbin/mount_devfs /sbin/mount_msdos /sbin/mount_udf
/sbin/mount_afp /sbin/mount_fdesc /sbin/mount_nfs /sbin/mount_volfs
/sbin/mount_cd9660 /sbin/mount_hfs /sbin/mount_smbfs /sbin/mount_webdav
/sbin/mount_cddafs /sbin/mount_mfs /sbin/mount_synthfs


IMHO too, mount/umount should be safe to use even on OS X. Can't see what's wrong when it does.

But I don't know wether even disktool exists on plain Darwin.
