Synopsis

mount [options] partition dir

The mount command, like diskutil, makes a disk partition available and accessible on the Mac. Unlike diskutil, however, mount can work with remote systems such as Windows share drives or NFS. It has the same functionality as the Finder’s “Connect to Server...” feature in the Go menu.

Suppose you have a Windows server, myserver, with a share named Work, and your login name on that server is jones. To mount the share on your Mac in a directory mydir, run:

➜ mkdir mydir ➜ mount -t smbfs //jones@myserver/Work mydir Password: *******

After you enter jones’s password, the Windows share is mounted in mydir, ready for use:

➜ ls mydir file1.txt file2.doc ... ➜ emacs mydir/file1.txt Edit a remote file

To unmount the Windows share, use the umount command:

➜ umount mydir

If the same filesystem were served by NFS (Network File System) instead of a Windows share, the command would be:

➜ mount -t nfs myserver:/Work mydir
