# viewumount(1)

mount command for view-os (umview, kmview)

## NAME

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

## SYNOPSIS

**viewumount** \[-hfl\] *dir* **\|** *device*\

## DESCRIPTION

This command has the same meaning and and a reduced set of features of  **[umount(8)](/umount/8.md).** View-OS previously used the standard mount command from linux-utils-ng. Since v.2.15.rc1 umount 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)**
