# mountall(8)

Mount filesystems during boot

## NAME

mountall - Mount filesystems during boot

## SYNOPSIS

**mountall** \[*OPTIONS*\]...

## DESCRIPTION

**mountall** is an Upstart [**init**(8)](/init/8.md) helper that mounts filesystems.

It reads [**fstab**(5)](/fstab/5.md) and supplements the entries found with a set of built-in entries (generally found in */lib/init/fstab*) and calls [**fsck**(8)](/fsck/8.md), [**mount**(8)](/mount/8.md) and [**swapon**(8)](/swapon/8.md) in the correct order to mount filesystems once the underlying devices have been created by [**udevd**(8)](/udevd/8.md).
