mount.captive - mount(8) interface for NTFS disk access

{image-file|device} dir
mount.captive(8) provides mount(8) interface to lufs-captivefs(7)
by calling lufsd(1) with appropriate arguments. You should never call
this command directly - use mount(8) instead.
mount.captive(8) (captive filesystem type) is never used - this command
is provided just as a base mount(8) interface to captive(7). You must always
use captive-fstype filesystem type such as captive-ntfs. Other supported
filesystem types are:
ntfs, fastfat, cdfs, ext2fsd
- {image-file|device}
-
Pathname such as /dev/hda1 or /tmp/ntfs.bin. You should refer to the
partition name, not the whole device (/dev/hda is forbidden).
/dev/hda1 may correspond to /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
on your system.
- mountdir
-
Existing empty target directory where {image-file|device} will be
mounted.
- -n
-
Do not modify /etc/mtab. This option is currently not supported (ignored),
/etc/mtab is modified notwithstanding.
- -v
-
Enable verbose mode. Command lufsd(1) being called is shown.
- -o options
-
Custom options passed to captive(7) separated by comma (,).
See the captive(7) manpage for details on options prefixed by
double-dashes (--) will be used for lufs-captivefs(7) /
mount.captive(8). Options without double-dashes (--) will be used for
lufsd(1). You may be interested in these unprefixed options:
- force
-
Force the mount of {image-file|device} despite it appears to be already
mounted according to mtab(5). You should never mount a device multiple
times in read-write mode. It is safe to mount it multiple times in read-only
mode. It is safe to mount it once in read-write mode and multiple times
in read-only mode although you may encounter filesystem errors by the read-only
filesystems in such case.
-
This is the only option is interpreted by mount.captive itself; it is not
lufs-captivefs(7) nor lufsd(1) option.
- private
-
mount.captive(8) defaults to filesystem files 644 - read-write for system
root (or the regular user owner) and read-only for others. You can force the
mode 600 by this option (read-write for the owner, inaccessible for others).
Mode 755 or <700> applies to directories. Options fmask/dmask will
be OR-ed to the private/public permissions set by this option.
- fmask=666
-
Octal mask to be OR-ed on file permissions (minimum file permissions).
- dmask=777
-
Octal mask to be OR-ed on directory permissions (minimum directory
permissions).
- uid=500
-
Supply the UID to be the user identification number owning all the files.
- gid=500
-
Supply the GID to be the group identification number owning all the files.
