.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Bind
|
|
and
|
|
.I mount
|
|
modify the file name space of the current process
|
|
and other processes in the same name space group
|
|
(see
|
|
.IR fork (2)).
|
|
For both calls,
|
|
.I old
|
|
is the name of an existing file or directory in the
|
|
current name space where the modification is to be made.
|
|
.PP
|
|
For
|
|
.IR bind ,
|
|
.I new
|
|
is the name of another (or possibly the same)
|
|
existing file or directory in
|
|
the current name space.
|
|
After a successful
|
|
.IR bind ,
|
|
the file name
|
|
.I old
|
|
is an alias for the object originally named by
|
|
.IR new ;
|
|
if the modification doesn't hide it,
|
|
.I new
|
|
will also still refer to its original file.
|
|
The evaluation of
|
|
.I new
|
|
(see
|
|
.IR intro (2))
|
|
happens at the time of the
|
|
.IR bind ,
|
|
not when the binding is later used.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.I servename
|
|
argument to
|
|
.I mount
|
|
is the name of a file that, when opened, yields an
|
|
existing connection to a file server.
|
|
Almost always,
|
|
.I servename
|
|
will be a file in
|
|
.B /srv
|
|
(see
|
|
.IR srv (3)).
|
|
In the discussion below,
|
|
.I new
|
|
refers to the file named by the
|
|
.I new
|
|
argument to
|
|
.I bind
|
|
or the root directory of the service
|
|
available in
|
|
.I servename
|
|
after a
|
|
.IR mount .
|
|
Either both
|
|
.I old
|
|
and
|
|
.I new
|
|
files must be directories,
|
|
or both must not be directories.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Options control aspects of the modification to the name space:
|
|
.TP 10
|
|
(none)
|
|
Replace the
|
|
.I old
|
|
file by the new one.
|
|
Henceforth, an evaluation of
|
|
.I old
|
|
will be translated to the new file.
|
|
If they are directories (for
|
|
.IR mount ,
|
|
this condition is true by definition),
|
|
.I old
|
|
becomes a
|
|
.I "union directory"
|
|
consisting of one directory (the new file).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -b
|
|
Both files must be directories.
|
|
Add the new directory to the beginning
|
|
of the union directory represented by the old file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -a
|
|
Both files must be directories.
|
|
Add the new directory to the end
|
|
of the union directory represented by the old file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -c
|
|
This can be used in addition to any of the above to permit
|
|
creation in a union directory.
|
|
When a new file is created in a union directory,
|
|
it is placed in the first element of the union that has been bound or mounted with the
|
|
.B -c
|
|
flag.
|
|
If that directory does not have write permission, the create fails.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -C
|
|
(Only in
|
|
.IR mount .)
|
|
By default, file contents are always retrieved from the server.
|
|
With this option, the kernel may instead use a local cache to satisfy
|
|
.IR read (5)
|
|
requests for files accessible through this mount point.
|
|
The currency of cached data for a file is verified at each
|
|
.IR open (5)
|
|
of the file from this client machine.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -q
|
|
Exit silently if the
|
|
.B bind
|
|
or
|
|
.B mount
|
|
operation fails.
|
|
.PD
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Mount
|
|
takes two additional options.
|
|
The first,
|
|
.B -k
|
|
.IR keypattern ,
|
|
constrains the set of
|
|
.IR factotum (4)
|
|
keys used for an authenticated mount.
|
|
The second,
|
|
.BR -n ,
|
|
causes
|
|
.I mount
|
|
to skip authentication entirely.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.I spec
|
|
argument to
|
|
.I mount
|
|
is passed in the
|
|
.IR attach (5)
|
|
message to the server, and selects among different
|
|
file trees served by the server.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.IR srv (3)
|
|
service registry device, normally bound to
|
|
.BR /srv ,
|
|
is a convenient rendezvous point for services that can be mounted.
|
|
After bootstrap, the file
|
|
.B /srv/boot
|
|
contains the communications port to the file system from which
|
|
the system was loaded.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The effects of
|
|
.I bind
|
|
and
|
|
.I mount
|
|
can be undone with the
|
|
.I unmount
|
|
command.
|
|
If two arguments are given to
|
|
.IR unmount ,
|
|
the effect is to undo a
|
|
.I bind
|
|
or
|
|
.I mount
|
|
with the same arguments.
|
|
If only one argument is given,
|
|
everything bound to or mounted upon
|
|
.I old
|
|
is unmounted.
