14 Mount announces to the system that a removable file system is present
15 on the device special. The file name must exist already; it must be a
16 directory (unless the root of the mounted file system is not a direc‐
17 tory). It becomes the name of the newly mounted root. The optional
18 last argument indicates that the file system is to be mounted read-
19 only.

21 Umount announces to the system that the removable file system previ‐
22 ously mounted on device special is to be removed.

24 These commands maintain a table of mounted devices. If invoked without
25 an argument, mount prints the table.
26
27 Physically write-protected and magnetic tape file systems must be
28 mounted read-only or errors will occur when access times are updated,
29 whether or not any explicit write is attempted.

38 Mounting file systems full of garbage will crash the system.
