MOUNT

Format:    MOUNT {device} [FROM (filename)] 
Template:  DEVICE/M,FROM/K
Location:  C: 

MOUNT reads a device's configuration parameters from a file. It then uses the parameter information to mount the device or make them available to the system. Multiple devices can be mounted with a single command. The (device) argument specifies the names of the devices to be mounted.

MOUNT can process either DOSDrivers mount files or a traditional mulitple-entry MountList file, dependingon which of the following arguements are used:

Given a device name, MOUNT tries to find a file of that name in DEVS:DOSDrivers, then in SYS:Stoage/DOSDrivers, and finally as an entry in DEVS:MountList. This method is best if you have only one configuration for that device on your system.

Given a path, MOUNT looks for a mount file in that location. Wildcards may be used to mount multiple devices. Use this method when you have mount files stored somewhere other than the DOSDrivers drawers or if you have several mount files to process aat once.

Given the FROM keyword and a path, MOUNT specitfies the location of a MountList file to process. Use this method if you have a MountList stored somewhere other than DEVS: or if you have several MountLists.

Example:

MOUNT DEVS:DOSDrivers/CD0
