+forces the revocation of write access when trying to downgrade +a file system mount status from read-write to read-only. +.It Cm noatime +Do not update atime on files in the system unless the mtime or ctime +is being changed as well. +This option is useful for laptops and news servers where one does +not want the extra disk activity associated with updating the atime. +.It Cm nodev +Do not interpret character or block special devices on the file system. +This option is useful for a server that has file systems containing +special devices for architectures other than its own. +.It Cm noexec +Do not allow execution of any binaries on the mounted file system. +This option is useful for a server that has file systems containing +binaries for architectures other than its own. +.It Cm noperm +(FFS only) +Do not check permissions when creating, accessing or modifying files and +directories in the mounted file system. +This allows unprivileged users to construct a file hierarchy containing +special device nodes and files with arbitrary file mode, owner or group +without restriction. +Only the owner, group and mode of the root directory of the filesystem +will be honored so access to the filesystem can be locked down. +The noperm option also enables the nodev and noexec options to ensure +that interpretation of the file modes and special devices cannot be +used to gain privileges. +.It Cm norw +An alias for rdonly. +.It Cm nosuid +Do not allow set-user-identifier or set-group-identifier bits to take effect. +.It Cm rdonly +The same as +.Fl r ; +mount the file system read-only (even the superuser may not write it). +.It Cm ro +An alias for rdonly. +.It Cm softdep +Mount an FFS file system using soft dependencies. +This option is only supported for compatibility and has no effect on +.Ox . +.It Cm sync +Regular data I/O to the file system should be done synchronously. +By default, only metadata is read/written synchronously. +.It Cm update +The same as +.Fl u ;

these options are +distinguished by a leading +.Dq \&- +(dash). +Options that take a value are specified using the syntax -option=value. +For example: +.Bd -literal -offset 3n +# mount -t mfs -o rw,nodev,nosuid,-s=153600 /dev/sd0b /tmp +.Ed +.Pp +That causes +.Nm +to execute the equivalent of: +.Bd -literal -offset 3n +# /sbin/mount_mfs -o rw,nodev,nosuid -s 153600 /dev/sd0b /tmp +.Ed +.Pp +The equivalent example in +.Xr fstab 5 +would be: +.Bd -literal -offset 3n +swap /tmp mfs rw,nodev,nosuid,-s=153600 0 0 +.Ed +.It Fl r +The file system is to be mounted read-only. +Mount the file system read-only (even the superuser may not write it). +The same as the +.Dq rdonly +argument to the +.Fl o +option. +.It Fl s +Skip mounting the file system if it is already mounted. +See the +.Fl a +flag for a description of the criteria used to decide if a file system +is already mounted. +.It Fl t Ar type +The argument following the +.Fl t +is used to indicate the file system type. +The type +.Ar ffs +is the default. +The +.Fl t +option can be used +to indicate that the actions should only be taken on +file systems of the specified type. +More than one type may be specified in a comma separated list. +The list of file system types can be prefixed with +.Dq no +to specify the file system types for which action should +.Em not +be taken. +For example, the +.Nm +command: +.Bd -literal -offset indent +# mount -a -t nonfs,mfs +.Ed +.Pp +mounts all file systems except those of type NFS and MFS. +.Pp +.Nm +will attempt to execute a program in +.Pa /sbin/mount_ Ns Em XXX +where +.Em XXX +is replaced by the type name. +For example, NFS file systems are mounted by the program +.Pa /sbin/mount_nfs . +.It Fl u +The +.Fl u +flag indicates that the status of an already mounted file +system should be changed. +Any of the options discussed above (the +.Fl o +option) +may be changed; +also a file system can be changed from read-only to read-write +or vice versa. +An attempt to change from read-write to read-only will fail if any +files on the file system are currently open for writing unless the +.Fl f +flag is also specified. +Only options specified on the command line with +.Fl o +are changed;
