NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     mount_xfs - mount the xfs filesystem

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     mount_xfs [-o options] char-device mount-point

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The mount_xfs command mounts one of the  xfs  character  devices.  The character
  device  is  used  for  communication with a user-land
cachemanager and
     fileprovider.

     The options are as follows:

     -o options
             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.

     The xfs filesystem was written primarily  to  make  a  free,
AFS-compatible
     filesystem  (Arla).   But  since the xfs interface is simple
and generic it
     could be used for other filesystems as well.
