Note
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's
texinfo documentation. However, this process is only
approximative, and some items, such as crossreferences,
footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process.
Indeed, this items have no appropriate representation in the
manpage format. Moreover, only the items specific to each
command have been translated, and the general information
about mtools has been dropped in the manpage version. Thus
I strongly advise you to use the original texinfo doc.
* To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run
the following commands:
./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
* To generate a html copy, run:
./configure; make html
A premade html can be found at:
`http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools'
* To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info
mode), run:
./configure; make info
The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.
Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult
to read due to the quoting conventions used in info.
Description
The mmount command is used to mount an MS-DOS disk. It is
only available on Linux, as it is only useful if the OS
kernel allows to configure the disk geometry. Its syntax is:
mmount msdosdrive [mountargs]
Mmount reads the boot sector of an MS-DOS disk, configures
the drive geometry, and finally mounts it passing mountargs
to mount. If no mount arguments are specified, the name of
the device is used. If the disk is write protected, it is
