MNTPROC_MNT - Add Mount Entry

Call Arguments

 

dirpath dirname;

Return Arguments

 

union fhstatus switch (unsigned status) {
    case 0:
        fhandle directory;
    default:
        void;
};

fhandle is defined in Basic Data Types .

RPC Procedure Description

 

fhstatus
MNTPROC_MNT(dirname) = 1;

Description

If the reply status is 0, then the reply directory contains the file handle for the directory dirname. This file handle may be used in the NFS protocol. This procedure also adds a new entry to the mount list for this client mounting dirname.

Return Codes

MNT_OK

Indicates that the call completed successfully and the results are valid.

MNT_EPERM

Indicates that the call failed because the mount server did not have the required privileges to perform the mount. (Most implementations require that the mount server runs with UID 0.) This generally indicates a server configuration error.

MNT_EACCES

Indicates that the call failed because access to the specified directory was denied. Either no directory in the path dirname is exported, or the client system is not permitted to mount this directory.

MNT_ENOENT

Indicates that the call failed because the specified directory does not exist. If the server exports only /a/b, an attempt to mount /a/b/c will fail with ENOENT if the directory does not exist; on the other hand, an attempt to mount /a/x would fail with EACCES.

MNT_EINVAL

Indicates that the call failed because the mount daemon was unable to translate the path into a file handle. This may indicate a server configuration error, or may occur if the directory is removed before the mount is complete.
