NAME
mount.zfs - mount a ZFS filesystem
SYNOPSIS
mount.zfs [-sfnvh] [-o options] dataset mountpoint
DESCRIPTION
mount.zfs
is part of the zfsutils package for Linux. It is a helper program that
is usually invoked by the
mount(8)
or
zfs(8)
commands to mount a ZFS dataset.
All
options
are handled according to the FILESYSTEM INDEPENDENT MOUNT OPTIONS
section in the
mount(8)
manual, except for those described below.
The
dataset
parameter is a ZFS filesystem name, as output by the
zfs list -H -o name
command. This parameter never has a leading slash character and is
not a device name.
The
mountpoint
parameter is the path name of a directory.
OPTIONS
- -s
-
Ignore bad or sloppy mount options.
- -f
-
Do a fake mount; do not perform the mount operation.
- -n
-
Do not update the /etc/mtab file.
- -v
-
Increase verbosity.
- -h
-
Print the usage message.
- -o context
-
This flag sets the SELinux context for all files in the filesystem
under that mountpoint.
- -o fscontext
-
This flag sets the SELinux context for the filesystem being mounted.
- -o defcontext
-
This flag sets the SELinux context for unlabeled files.
- -o rootcontext
-
This flag sets the SELinux context for the root inode of the filesystem.
- -o legacy
-
This private flag indicates that the
dataset
has an entry in the /etc/fstab file.
- -o noxattr
-
This private flag disables extended attributes.
- -o xattr
-
This private flag enables directory-based extended attributes and, if
appropriate, adds a ZFS context to the selinux system policy.
- -o saxattr
-
This private flag enables system attributed-based extended attributes and, if
appropriate, adds a ZFS context to the selinux system policy.
- -o dirxattr
-
Equivalent to
xattr.
- -o zfsutil
-
This private flag indicates that
mount(8)
is being called by the
zfs(8)
command.
NOTES
ZFS conventionally requires that the
mountpoint
be an empty directory, but the Linux implementation inconsistently
enforces the requirement.
The
mount.zfs
helper does not mount the contents of zvols.
FILES
- /etc/fstab
-
The static filesystem table.
- /etc/mtab
-
The mounted filesystem table.
