What is the use of MOUNT command in LINUX?
969614
Mount is used to make a file system available to the operating system.\n\nIn Unix and Linux, all devices are mounted somewhere under the same directory tree.  The tree is rooted at "/", and all devices are mounted somewhere from that.\n\nIf you have only one hard drive partition, then that partition is mounted at "/" and all directories on that partition fall directly beneath "/".\n\nHowever, if you have multiple partitions, then the first one is mounted at "/" and the others are mounted elsewhere.  For example you might have a second partition that gets mounted as "/bigdisk" and all directories on that drive will be accessible as "/bigdisk/dir1", "/bigdisk/dir2", etc..\n\nYou can mount and unmount partitions (other than the root partition) at any time assuming they are not being used by a process. \n\nAnother common device that gets mounted/unmounted frequently is a CDROM device:\n\nmount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom\n\nThe above command says to mount the device /dev/cdrom and place its contents in the directory /mnt/cdrom.  So if the CD that is in the CDROM has a file system and that filesystem has a directory named "bob", then after mounting the filesystem with the above command you would be able to:\n\ncd /mnt/cdrom/bob\n\nor\n\nls /mnt/cdrom/bob\n\nEssentially it is telling Unix/Linux to make the contents of the CD available at /mnt/cdrom.\n\nYou can also unmount a filesystem using the "umount" command (notice the lack of an "n" in "umount"...aren't Unix folks so smart?!?!).

Put all the scripting commands in the file /etc/rc.local.\nThis script will be executed after all the init scripts are executed during every boot.You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't want to do the full Sys V init stuff.\nType the commands after the line touch /var/lock/subsys/local in the file.\n\nFor many purposes this file has been used.\nFor example:\n1. IP_forward ( echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward )\n2. Rejecting and accepting of TCP and UDP packets by Iptables and NAT services.\n3. To display the login banner. Type "echo "Welcome to /n">/etc/issue will cause you to display message \n"Welcome to <hostname>" instead of Linux release and kernel version.

Please clear your question.\n\nA 't' or 'T' as the last character of the "ls -l" mode characters\nindicates that the "sticky" (save text image) bit is set. See ls(1) for\nan explanation the distinction between 't' and 'T'.\n\nThe sticky bit has a different meaning, depending on the type of file it\nis set on...\n\nsticky bit on directories\n=========================\n[From chmod(2)]\nIf the mode bit S_ISVTX (sticky bit) is set on a directory, files\ninside the directory may be renamed or removed only by the owner of\nthe file, the owner of the directory, or the superuser (even if the\nmodes of the directory would otherwise allow such an operation).\n\n[Example]\ndrwxrwxrwt  104 bin        bin          14336 Jun  7 00:59 /tmp\n\nsticky bit on regular files\n===========================\n[From chmod(2)]\nIf an executable file is prepared for sharing, mode bit S_ISVTX prevents\nthe system from abandoning the swap-space image of the program-text\nportion of the file when its last user terminates.  Then, when the next\nuser of the file executes it, the text need not be read from the file\nsystem but can simply be swapped in, thus saving time.\n\n[From HP-UX Kernel Tuning and Performance Guide]\nLocal paging. When applications are located remotely, set the "sticky\nbit"\non the applications binaries, using the chmod +t command. This tells the\nsystem to page the text to the local disk. Otherwise, it is "retrieved"\nacross the network. Of course, this would only apply when there is actual\npaging occurring. More recently, there is a kernel parameter,\npage_text_to_local, which when set to 1, will tell the kernel to page all\nNFS executable text pages to local swap space.\n\n[Example]\n-r-xr-xr-t   6 bin        bin         24111111111664 Nov 14  2000\n/usr/bin/vi\n\nsticky bit on symlinks\n======================\nIn HP-UX 10.0 and later, a symbolic link that has its sticky bit set is\ncalled a transition link (i.e. links to ease the transition to the new\nSVR4 filesystem layout).  Transition links are a bit faster, because  the\nlinked-to filename is stored in the inode itself, instead of using an\nallocation unit to store the link.  For more info on the purpose for\ntransition links, see the tlinstall(update_aid) manpage.\n\nIn order to set the sticky bit on a symlink, one must use the\nundocumented\nlchmod system call (i.e. lchmod("/bin", 041777)).\n\n[Example]\nlr-xr-xr-t   1 root       sys              8 Jun  7 01:00 /bin ->\n/usr/bin

it's in the conf file... different depending on how you did the install.\n\nthe directory may not exist yet! \n\nfrom the conf file:\nDocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs\n\nis my default directory\n\nthere is also a per user directory for urls like http://x.com/~buddy\n\nthat's specified there too!

I believe you're trying to do some kind of piping with Unix script commands... It's been ages since I've done it myself, but I'm sure you'll find plenty of documented sources on the Net. You can also try and install one of those free Linux distributions to test the script.

Standard Windows utility that is called CONVERT serves this purpose\n\nJust go to the Command Prompt and execute the command: \n\nC:&#92;> CONVERT C: /fs:ntfs\n\nC: is a name of the drive you want to convert\nit aske you the vol name so you must enter the drive name \nthen read the messege care fully it may give you the messege thet this time you can,t convert so just sudile it & restart computeer

okey!\n\nhere is a very nice app that lets you execute some window files/executables from within linux.\nhttp://www.winehq.com/site/download\nYou'll probably also find it inside the linux CD.\nBut first did you mount the windows file systems to linux?\nIf not install the NTFS kernel module for your kernel:\nPls search the internet for the following:\nkernel-module-ntfs RPM packages for Red Hat/Fedora\n\n*If you want to find out what kernel you're running, you can open a terminal and type:\nuname -r\n\nnow after installing the module try to mount your NTFS partition/Windows Patrtition.\nIf you see any prob then do:\nman mount\n\ncheers

hey  try \nmount /dev/cdrom  /mnt\n\nyou need to  either define a mount point or need to  keep it in /etc/fstab so that at bootup tiume it takes up the mount point automatically.\n\nlet me know if any more issues.\nkshounish@yahoo.com

It depends on linux system\nBut most of them you should repartition it in linux setup

but that works only in case of ntfs drives.\nyou can either convert fat32/fat to ntfs(if it is) or you can use compressed folder.

try this \nhttp://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php?mode=ViewCategory&catid=5\n\nor this\nhttp://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&client=pub-3606875017121328&channel=7045543180&cof=FORID%3A1%3BGL%3A1%3BBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BT%3A%23000000%3BLC%3A%230000ff%3BVLC%3A%23663399%3BALC%3A%230000ff%3BGALT%3A%23008000%3BGFNT%3A%230000ff%3BGIMP%3A%230000ff%3BDIV%3A%23336699%3BLBGC%3A336699%3BAH%3Acenter%3B&q=mount+iso

After installation is complete, and you rstart your PC, do the following:\n- right-click on the Daemon Tools icon in the system Tray (next to the Time Display);\n- go t o"Virtual CD/DVD Rom;\n- go to "Set Number of devices...";\n- select the number of Virtual CD Drives you want, choose 1 as a start;\n- right-click on the Daemon Tools icon in the system Tray again;\n- go t o"Virtual CD/DVD Rom;\n- go to Device0:[Drive Letter] No Media;\n- go to "Mount Image";\n- Select the Source of the Image File...and you are done with the mounting of the CD/DVD Image File

Yes in newer versions of Windows, type the following at a command prompt:\n\nconvert c: /fs:ntfs\n\nJust make sure it's something you want to do.

./<program name> is only and will only run programs in the dir that you are currently in.\n\n./ is the unix/linux/bsd command line for the current directory.  If you were in /home/username/dir01/dir02/dir03 and wanted a run a script from the dir02 dir, you would type ../<script name>.  The ../ means one dir down.  ../../ would put you in to dir01 and so on and so forth.\n\nThe ./ is also a security measure so files just don't get run accidently.  \n\nIn order to run mozilla, it has to be installed.  I would read your distro's web page on how to do that.  Many distro's have good wiki sites that will guide you through the process step by step.  Once there, you just need to run it from the location where it resides.\n\nJust type:\n\nwhereis mozilla \n\nIt should locate it for you and give you its full path.

in Fdisk there is a Non-Dos option...use that to delete an NTFS or any other Non-Dos Partition.

An inode contains information about a file.  Each file has one, and it contains such info as the file owner, locking info, and the size of the file (in bytes).  You can see inode information using "ls -i (filename)".  More detail at wikipedia link, below.\n\nRegarding installing software, there are standards that most people follow (see FHS link in sources), but it often depends on the particular linux distribution you're using.\n\nSuggestions:\n\n/usr/sbin\n/usr/local/(name of software)\n/usr/local/bin (may be accessible even if you're not the sysadmin)\n/opt (commonly used for "extra" software on some linux distros)\n\nIf you're not the administrator, it's best to ask.

Daemon tools and Alchol 120% work great, same if you get Nero, as you can mount images with this too.
