The s6-mount program

s6-mount mounts filesystems.

Interface

     s6-mount -a [ -z fstab ]
     s6-mount [ -n ] [ -r | -w ] [ -t fstype ] [ -o option[,option...] ] device mntpoint

• s6-mount -a mounts all partitions according to /etc/fstab.
• If the -a option is not given, s6-mount mounts device on mntpoint.
• s6-mount does not touch /etc/mtab.

Exit codes

• 0: success
• 1: mount() returned -EBUSY — most likely, the filesystem is already mounted
• 100: wrong usage
• 111: system call failed
• n: s6-mount -a was called, and n fstab entries couldn't be mounted

Options

• -a : process /etc/fstab instead of command line arguments
• -z fstab : read file at fstab instead of /etc/fstab
• -n : ignored
• -t fstype : filesystem is of type fstype. You probably need to specify this.
• -r : mount read-only
• -w : mount read-write (default)
• -o option : mount with option option. Currently recognized options: defaults, ro, rw, remount, sync, async, nodev, dev, noexec, exec, nosuid, suid, noatime, atime, nodiratime, diratime, bind, nobind, move, nomove. Unrecognized options are given directly to the kernel.
