# M(1)

## NAME

         M, U - conveniently mount and unmount

## SYNOPSIS

         M device [-r]
         U device

## OPTIONS

         -r   Mount read-only

## EXAMPLES

         M root              # Mount the RAM image on /root

         M 0                 # Mount /dev/fd0 on /fd0

         U fd1               # Unmount /dev/fd1 from /fd1

## DESCRIPTION

         M and U allow easy mounting and unmounting of a device by using  only  an
         abbreviated  device name or keyword.  Special keywords are root, tmp, and
         usr for the three hard disk partitions Minix runs in.  Floppy devices are
         mounted  on /fd0 or /fd1.  You can use 0 and 1 instead of fd0 and fd1.  A
         device it doesn't know about is mounted on /mnt.
