NAME

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


SYNOPSIS

mount.ntfs {image-file|device} mountdir [-n] [-v] [-o options]

mount -t captive-ntfs [-n] [-v] [-o options] {image-file|device} dir


DESCRIPTION

mount.captive(8) provides mount(8) interface to lufs-captivefs(7) by calling lufsmount(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


OPTIONS

{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 lufsmount(1) being called is shown.

-o options
Custom options passed to captive(7). See its manpage for details. Options double-dashes (--) can be omitted for lufs-captivefs(7) or mount.captive(8).
