Such a file system could be mounted from a remote site via NFS or it could be a file system on removable media brought from some foreign location that uses a different password file. .Pp The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl o Ar options Options are specified with a .Fl o flag followed by a comma separated string of options. See the .Xr mount 8 man page for possible options and their meanings. .El .Pp The .Nm command uses a set of files provided by the user to make correspondences between UIDs and GIDs in the subtree's original environment and some other set of IDs in the local environment. For instance, user smith might have UID 1000 in the original environment, while having UID 2000 in the local environment. The .Nm command allows the subtree from smith's original environment to be mapped in such a way that all files with owner UID 1000 look like they are actually owned by UID 2000. .Pp .Em target should be the current location of the subtree in the local system's name space. .Ar mount_point should be a directory where the mapped subtree is to be placed. .Em uid-mapfile and .Em gid-mapfile describe the mappings to be made between identifiers. Briefly, the format of these files is a count of the number of mappings on the first line, with each subsequent line containing a single mapping. Each of these mappings consists of an ID from the original environment and the corresponding ID in the local environment, separated by whitespace. .Em uid-mapfile should contain all UID mappings, and .Em gid-mapfile should contain all GID mappings. Any UIDs not mapped in .Em uid-mapfile will be treated as user NOBODY, and any GIDs not mapped in .Em gid-mapfile will be treated as group NULLGROUP. At most 64 UIDs can be mapped for a given subtree, and at most 16 groups can be mapped by a given subtree. .Pp The mapfiles can be located anywhere in the file hierarchy, but they must be owned by root, and they must be writable only by root. .Nm will refuse to map the subtree if the ownership or permissions on these files are improper. It will also balk if the count of mappings in the first line of the map files is not correct. .Pp The layer created by the .Nm command is meant to serve as a simple example of file system layering. It is not meant for production use. The implementation is not very sophisticated. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr mount 2 , .Xr mount 8 , .Xr mount_null 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm utility first appeared in .Bx 4.4 .
