# lufsmount(1)

mount an LUFS file system

## NAME

lufsmount - mount an LUFS file system

## SYNOPSIS

**lufsmount** *file\_system***://\[***user***\[:***pass***\]@\]***host***\[:***port***\]\[/***remote\_root***\] \[-cdfghoOpquv\]**

## DESCRIPTION

The  **lufsmount** command is a convenience wrapper for mounting LUFS filesystems.  It provides a more natural syntax and allows regular users to take  advantage of it, provided that the LUFS mount/umount utilities  (lufsmnt & lufsumount) have been installed suid root. Conversely, the [**lufsumount**(1)](/lufsumount/1.md) command will detach the mounted file system.

## OPTIONS

Options available for the  **lufsmount** command:

- **-c** *CHAN***, --channels=***CHAN*

  Specify the number of communication channels per LUFS file system.

- **-d** *MASK***, --dmask=***MASK*

  Octal mask to be OR-ed on directory permissions (minimum dir permissions).

- **-f** *MASK***, --fmask=***MASK*

  Octal mask to be OR-ed on file permissions (minimum file permissions).

- **-g** *GID***, --gid=***GID*

  Set  *GID* as the owning  **gid** on all the file system entries.

- **-h, --help**

  Display a help message.

- **-o** *OPT=VAL\[,...\]***, --opts** *OPT=VAL\[,...\]*

  File system specific options. These options will be passed unparsed to the file system module.

- **-O, --own\_fs**

  The mounting user will be the owner of the whole mounted file system.  Permissions on the file system entries will be tweaked to reflect  actual remote access rights.

- **-p, --password**

  Prompt for a password, if none specified.

- **-q, --quiet**

  Disable logging from the  **lufsd** daemon. All file descriptors are closed.

- **-u** *UID***, --uid=***UID*

  Set *UID* as the owning  **uid** on all the file system entries.

- **-v, --verbose**

  Print the mount command before executing.
