mount.zfs - mount a ZFS filesystem
mount.zfs [-sfnvh] [-o options] dataset mountpoint
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.
- -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.
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.
- /etc/fstab
- The static filesystem table.
- /etc/mtab
- The mounted filesystem table.
