Modifying filesystem mount configuration
In the
Filesystem Manager,
select a filesystem from the list, select
Mount Modify Mount Configuration
and change the filesystem parameters:
Mount Point-
specifies the directory where you want to attach (``mount'')
the filesystem.
For example, the u filesystem is generally mounted
on the /u directory.
Description-
specifies the (optional) description of the filesystem.
For example, the default description for the root filesystem
is ``The root filesystem''.
Filesystem Type-
specifies the type of filesystem.
See
``Supported filesystem types''.
The filesystem type is set when the filesystem is created
and cannot be changed.
Access mode-
-
Read-only
mounts the filesystem as read-only so that no changes can be made
to the filesystem while it is mounted.
You must mount CD-ROM filesystems and filesystems
on write-protected floppy disks as read-only to prevent errors.
-
Read-write
mounts the filesystem with write permissions enabled.
Changes can be made to the filesystem while it is mounted.
NOTE:
When mounting remote filesystems, read/write permissions
might already be limited by the NFS server.
For more information, see
``Understanding share access permissions''.
When to Mount-
-
Now mounts the filesystem immediately;
the filesystem remains mounted until you unmount it
or you reboot the system.
-
At System Startup
does not mount the filesystem immediately.
The next time you boot the system,
the filesystem is mounted automatically.
Advanced Options-
changes the filesystem-specific advanced options.
Which advanced options are available depends on the type of filesystem
you are modifying (the S5 and dosfs types do not have advanced options):
