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 as transient
mount points for other volumes, for example, read-only media with a
shortage of spare directories to serve as mount points (like an
installation CD).
