Mounting a file system

After creating a VxFS file system, mount the file system using the mount command.

By default, the command tries to enable Quick I/O. If Quick I/O is not installed or licensed, no error messages are displayed unless you explicitly specify the mount option. If necessary, you can turn the Quick I/O option off at mount time or you can remount the file system with the option.

Before mounting a file system, review the following:

Prerequisites

  • You must be logged in as root to mount a file system.

Usage notes

  • The mount point must be an absolute path name (that is, it must begin with /).

  • See the mount_vxfs (1M) manual page for more information about mount settings.

  • See the mount (1M) manual page for more information about generic mount options.
