mmount - mount an MSDOS disk


Note of warning

       This   manpage   has  been  automatically  generated  from
       mtools's texinfo documentation, and may  not  be  entirely
       accurate  or  complete.   See the end of this man page for
       details.


Description

       The mmount command is used to mount an MS-DOS disk. It  is
       only  available  on  Linux, as it is only useful if the OS
       kernel allows to configure the disk geometry.  Its  syntax
       is:

       mmount msdosdrive [mountargs]

       Mmount reads the boot sector of an MS-DOS disk, configures
       the drive geometry, and finally mounts  it  passing  moun­
       targs  to mount.  If no mount arguments are specified, the
       name of the device is used. If  the  disk  is  write  pro­
       tected, it is automatically mounted read only.

Viewing the texi doc

       This   manpage   has  been  automatically  generated  from
       mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this  process  is
       only  approximative,  and  some items, such as crossrefer­
       ences, footnotes and indices are lost in this  translation
       process.   Indeed,  these items have no appropriate repre­
       sentation in the manpage format.  Moreover, not all infor­
       mation has been translated into the manpage version.  Thus
       I strongly advise you to use  the  original  texinfo  doc.
       See  the  end of this manpage for instructions how to view
       the texinfo doc.

       *      To generate a printable copy from the texinfo  doc,
              run the following commands:

                     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

       *      To generate a html copy,  run:

                     ./configure; make html

              A     premade     html    can    be    found    at:

              `http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools'

       *      To  generate  an  info copy (browsable using emacs'
              info mode), run:

                     ./configure; make info

       The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.
       Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult
       to read due to the quoting conventions used in info.
