# viewmount(1)

mount command for view-os (umview, kmview)

## NAME

viewmount - mount command for view-os (umview, kmview)

## SYNOPSIS

**viewmount** \[-hr\] \[-t *vfstype* \] \[-o *options* \] *device* *dir*\

## DESCRIPTION

This command has the same meaning and and a reduced set of features of  **[mount(8)](/mount/8.md).** View-OS previously used the standard mount command from linux-utils-ng. Since v.2.15.rc1 mount is not compatible any more with View-OS for an unnecessary restriction when the executable is not setuid. We hope the developers of linux-utils-ng can fix the problem asap.

## SEE ALSO

**[umview(1)](/umview/1.md),** **[kmview(1)](/kmview/1.md)**
