+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mount
+.Nd mount file systems
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm mount
+.Op Fl Aadfruvw
+.Op Fl t Ar type
+.Nm mount
+.Op Fl dfruvw
+.Ar special | node
+.Nm mount
+.Op Fl dfruvw
+.Op Fl o Ar options
+.Op Fl t Ar type
+.Ar special node
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm mount
+command invokes a filesystem-specific program to prepare
+and graft the
+.Ar special
+device or remote node (rhost:path) on to the file system
+tree at the point
+.Ar node .
+If either
+.Ar special
+or
+.Ar node
+are not provided, the appropriate information is taken from the
+.Xr fstab 5
+file.
+.Pp
+The system maintains a list of currently mounted file systems.
+If no arguments are given to
+.Nm mount,
+this list is printed.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl A
+Causes
+.Nm mount
+to try to mount all of the file systems listed in the
+.Xr fstab
+table except those for which the
+.Dq noauto
+option is specified.
+.It Fl a
+Similar to the
+.Fl A
+flag, except that if a file system (other than the root file system)
+appears to be already mounted,
+.Nm mount
+will not try to mount it again.
+.Nm Mount
+assumes that a file system is already mounted if a file system with
+the same type is mounted on the given mount point.
+More stringent checks are not possible because some file system types
+report strange values for the mounted-from device for mounted file
+systems.
+.It Fl d
+Causes everything to be done except for the invocation of
+the filesystem-specific program.
+This option is useful in conjunction with the
+.Fl v
+flag to
+determine what the
+.Nm mount
+command is trying to do.
+.It Fl f
+Forces the revocation of write access when trying to downgrade
+a filesystem mount status from read-write to read-only.
+.It Fl o
+Options are specified with a
+.Fl o
+flag followed by a comma separated string of options.
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It async
+All
+.Tn I/O
+to the file system should be done asynchronously.
+This is a
+.Em dangerous
+flag to set,
+and should not be used unless you are prepared to recreate the file
+system should your system crash.
+.It force
+The same as
+.Fl f ;
+forces the revocation of write access when trying to downgrade
+a filesystem mount status from read-write to read-only.
+.It nodev
+Do not interpret character or block special devices on the file system.
+This option is useful for a server that has file systems containing
+special devices for architectures other than its own.
+.It noexec
+Do not allow execution of any binaries on the mounted file system.
+This option is useful for a server that has file systems containing
+binaries for architectures other than its own.
+.It nosuid
+Do not allow set-user-identifier or set-group-identifier bits to take effect.
+.It rdonly
+The same as
+.Fl r ;
+mount the file system read-only (even the super-user may not write it).
+.It sync
+All
+.Tn I/O
+to the file system should be done synchronously.
+.It update
+The same as
+.Fl u ;
+indicate that the status of an already mounted file system should be changed.
+.It union
+Causes the namespace at the mount point to appear as the union
+of the mounted filesystem root and the existing directory.
+Lookups will be done in the mounted filesystem first.
+If those operations fail due to a non-existent file the underlying
+directory is then accessed.
+All creates are done in the mounted filesystem.
+.El
+.Pp
+Any additional options specific to a given filesystem type (see the
+.Fl t
+option) may be passed as a comma separated list; these options are
+distinguished by a leading
+.Dq \&-
+(dash).
+Options that take a value are specified using the syntax -option=value.
+For example, the mount command:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+mount -t mfs -o nosuid,-N,-s=4000 /dev/dk0b /tmp
+.Ed
+.Pp
+causes
+.Nm mount
+to execute the equivalent of:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+/sbin/mount_mfs -o nosuid -N -s 4000 /dev/dk0b /tmp
+.Ed
+.It Fl r
+The file system is to be mounted read-only.
+Mount the file system read-only (even the super-user may not write it).
+The same as the
+.Dq rdonly
+argument to the
+.Fl o
+option.
+.It Fl t Ar type
+The argument following the
+.Fl t
+is used to indicate the file system type.
+The type
+.Ar ffs
+is the default.
+The \fI-t\fP option can be used
+to indicate that the actions should only be taken on
+filesystems of the specified type.
+More than one type may be specified in a comma separated list.
+The list of filesystem types can be prefixed with
+.Dq no
+to specify the filesystem types for which action should
+.Em not
+be taken.
+For example, the
+.Nm mount
+command:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+mount -a -t nonfs,mfs
+.Ed
+.Pp
+mounts all filesystems except those of type
+.Tn NFS
+and
+.Tn MFS .
+.Pp
+.Nm Mount
+will attempt to execute a program in
+.Pa /sbin/mount_ Ns Em XXX
+where
+.Em XXX
+is replaced by the type name.
+For example, nfs filesystems are mounted by the program
+.Pa /sbin/mount_nfs .
+.It Fl u
+The
+.Fl u
+flag indicates that the status of an already mounted file
+system should be changed.
+Any of the options discussed above (the
+.Fl o
+option)
+may be changed;
+also a file system can be changed from read-only to read-write
+or vice versa.
+An attempt to change from read-write to read-only will fail if any
+files on the filesystem are currently open for writing unless the
+.Fl f
+flag is also specified.
+The set of options is determined by first extracting the options
+for the file system from the
+.Xr fstab
+table,
+then applying any options specified by the
+.Fl o
+argument,
+and finally applying the
+.Fl r
+or
+.Fl w
+option.
+.It Fl v
+Verbose mode.
+.It Fl w
+The file system object is to be read and write.
+.El
+.Pp
+The options specific to the various file system types are
+described in the manual pages for those file systems'
+.Nm mount_XXX
+commands. For instance the options specific to Berkekely
+Fast File Systems are described in the
+.Xr mount_ffs 8
+manual page.
