VIEW-OS(1)

💖 VIEW-OS — the viewmount page, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is VIEW-OS(1) from the General Commands Manual, and honestly? it's a short one, but it's important, so sit with me for a sec 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

viewmount — the mount command for view-os, aka umview, aka kmview 🌈

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

viewmount [-hr] [-t vfstype ] [-o options ] device dir

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

lowkey iconic, highkey niche. This command has the same meaning and a reduced set of features of mount(8) — think of it as mount's younger sibling who went to a very specific school 💅

Now here's the lore 📖✨ View-OS previously used the standard mount command from linux-utils-ng. But since v.2.15.rc1, mount is not compatible any more with View-OS — and why?? for an unnecessary restriction when the executable is not setuid. 💀 not the setuid gatekeeping fr fr

the hope: we hope the developers of linux-utils-ng can fix the problem asap 🙏🫶 no pressure besties, but like, pressure.
