mmount(1)

Name
       mmount - mount an MSDOS disk

Note
       This   manpage   has  been  automatically  generated  from
       mtools's texinfo documentation.  However, this process  is
       only  approximative,  and  some items, such as crossrefer-
       ences, footnotes and indices are lost in this  translation
       process.  Indeed, this items have no appropriate represen-
       tation in the manpage format.  Moreover,  only  the  items
       specific  to  each  command  have been translated, and the
       general information about mtools has been dropped  in  the
       manpage  version.   Thus  I strongly advise you to use the
       original texinfo doc.

       *      To generate a printable copy from the texinfo  doc,
              run the following commands:
                     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

       *      To generate a html copy,  run:
                     ./configure; make html
              A     premade     html    can    be    found    at:
              `http://linux.wauug.org/pub/knaff/mtools'

       *      To generate an info copy  (browsable  using  emacs'
              info mode), run:
                     ./configure; make info

       The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.
       Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult
       to read due to the quoting conventions used in info.

Description
       The  mmount command is used to mount an MS-DOS disk. It is
       only available on Linux, as it is only useful  if  the  OS
       kernel  allows  to configure the disk geometry. Its syntax
       is:

       mmount msdosdrive [mountargs]

       Mmount reads the boot sector of an MS-DOS disk, configures
       the  drive  geometry,  and finally mounts it passing moun-
       targs to mount.  If no mount arguments are specified,  the

       name  of  the  device  is  used. If the disk is write pro-
       tected, it is automatically mounted read only.
