MOUNT_FFS(8)            OpenBSD System Manager's Manual           MOUNT_FFS(8)

NAME
     mount_ffs, mount_ufs - mount a Berkeley Fast File System



SYNOPSIS
     mount_ffs [-o options] special node

DESCRIPTION
     The mount_ffs command attaches the Berkeley Fast File System on the
     special device on to the file system tree at point node.

     The mount_ufs form of the command is meant for backward compatibility on-
     ly.  Fast File Systems should no longer be listed as type ``ufs'' in
     fstab(5) and instead should be listed as type ``ffs''.

     This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot time.  The options
     are as follows:

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

SEE ALSO
     mount(2),  unmount(2),  fstab(5),  mount(8)

BUGS
     It is possible for a corrupted file system to cause a crash.
