MOUNT_CD9660(8)           BSD System Manager's Manual          MOUNT_CD9660(8)

NAME
     mount_cd9660 -- mount an ISO-9660 filesystem

SYNOPSIS
     mount_cd9660 [-egjr] [-o options] [-s startsector] special node

DESCRIPTION
     The mount_cd9660 command attaches the ISO-9660 filesystem residing on the device special to the global
     filesystem namespace at the location indicated by node.  This command is normally executed by mount(8)
     at boot time.

     The options are as follows:

     -e      Enable the use of extended attributes.

     -g      Do not strip version numbers on files.  (By default, if there are files with different version
             numbers on the disk, only the last one will be listed.)  In either case, files may be opened
             without explicitly stating a version number.

     -j      Do not use any Joliet extensions included in the filesystem.

     -o      Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separated string of options.  See the
             mount(8) man page for possible options and their meanings.

     -r      Do not use any Rockridge extensions included in the filesystem.

     -s startsector
             Start the filesystem at startsector.  Normally, if the underlying device is a CD-ROM drive,
             mount_cd9660 will try to figure out the last track from the CD-ROM containing data, and start
             the filesystem there.  If the device is not a CD-ROM, or the table of contents cannot be exam-ined, examined,
             ined, the filesystem will be started at sector 0.  This option can be used to override the be-haviour. behaviour.
             haviour.  Note that startsector is measured in CD-ROM blocks, with 2048 bytes each.

BUGS
     POSIX device node mapping is currently not supported.

     Version numbers are not stripped if Rockridge extensions are in use.  In this case, accessing files
     that don't have Rockridge names without version numbers gets the one with the lowest version number and
     not the one with the highest.

     There is no ECMA support.

HISTORY
     The mount_cd9660 utility first appeared 4.4BSD.
