Name
mount_synthfs
Synopsis
mount_synthfs [-omount_options
] synthfsmount_point
Mounts a synthfs
filesystem, which is a simple
mapping of memory into the filesystem hierarchy (i.e., the contents
of a synthfs
filesystem are contained in
memory). While creation of files in the filesystem is prevented (in
fact, you may cause the system to hang after attempting to create
files), directory hierarchies are allowed. This could be used to set
up transient mount points for other volumes on, for example,
read-only media with a shortage of spare directories to serve as
mount points (like an installation CD).
