MOUNT_KERNFS(8) 					    BSD System Manager's Manual 					   MOUNT_KERNFS(8)

NAME

     mount_kernfs -- mount the /kern file system

SYNOPSIS

     mount_kernfs [-o options] /kern mount_point

DESCRIPTION

     The mount_kernfs command attaches an instance of the kernel parameter namespace to the global filesystem namespace.  The conventional mount
     point is /kern.  The directory specified by mount_point is converted to an absolute path before use.  This command is normally executed by
     mount(8) at boot time.

     The filesystem includes several regular files which can be read, some of which can also be written.  The contents of the files is in a
     machine-independent format, either a string, or an integer in decimal ASCII.  Where numbers are returned, a trailing newline character is
     also added.

     The options are as follows:

     -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.

FILES

     boottime	the time at which the system was last booted (decimal ASCII).
     copyright	kernel copyright message.
     hostname	the hostname, with a trailing newline.	The hostname can be changed by writing to this file.  A trailing newline will be stripped
		from the hostname being written.
     hz 	the frequency of the system clock (decimal ASCII).
     ipsecsa	the directory that contains IPsec security associations (SA) in PF_KEY format.	Filenames are SPI in decimal number.  The content
		of files can be inspected by using setkey(8).
     ipsecsp	the directory that contains IPsec security policies in PF_KEY format.  Filenames are security policy ID in decimal number.  The
		content of files can be inspected by using setkey(8).
     loadavg	the 1, 5 and 15 minute load average in kernel fixed-point format.  The final integer is the fix-point scaling factor.  All numbers
		are in decimal ASCII.
     msgbuf	the kernel message buffer, also read by syslogd(8), through the log device, and by dmesg(8).
     pagesize	the machine pagesize (decimal ASCII).
     physmem	the number of pages of physical memory in the machine (decimal ASCII).
     rootdev	the root device.
     rrootdev	the raw root device.
     time	the second and microsecond value of the system clock.  Both numbers are in decimal ASCII.
     version	the kernel version string.  The head line for /etc/motd can be generated by running: ``sed 1q /kern/version''

HISTORY

     The mount_kernfs utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.

BUGS

     This filesystem may not be NFS-exported.

     lkm(4) version does not support IPsec-related files/directories.

MOUNT_ADOS(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					     MOUNT_ADOS(8)

NAME

     mount_ados -- mount an AmigaDOS file system

SYNOPSIS

     mount_ados [-o options] [-u uid] [-g gid] [-m mask] special node

DESCRIPTION

     The mount_ados command attaches the AmigaDOS filesystem residing on the device special to the global filesystem namespace at the location
     indicated by node.  Both special and node are converted to absolute paths before use.  This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot
     time, but can be used by any user to mount an AmigaDOS file system on any directory that they own (provided, of course, that they have appro-
     priate access to the device that contains the file system).

     The options are as follows:

     -o options
	     Use the specified mount options, as described in mount(8).

     -u uid  Set the owner of the files in the file system to uid.  The default owner is the owner of the directory on which the file system is
	     being mounted.

     -g gid  Set the group of the files in the file system to gid.  The default group is the group of the directory on which the file system is
	     being mounted.

     -m mask
	     Specify the maximum file permissions for files in the file system.  (For example, a mask of 755 specifies that, by default, the owner
	     should have read, write, and execute permissions for files, but others should only have read and execute permissions.  See chmod(1)
	     for more information about octal file modes.)  Only the nine low-order bits of mask are used.  The default mask is taken from the
	     directory on which the file system is being mounted.

SEE ALSO

     mount(2), unmount(2), fstab(5), mount(8)

HISTORY

     The mount_ados utility first appeared in NetBSD 1.0.

BUGS

     The 'ados' filesystem currently supports the Amiga fast file system.

     The 'ados' filesystem implementation currently is read-only.  The mount_ados utility silently retries the mount read-only, as if the ro
     option were specified, when it encounters the [EROFS] error.
