VIEW-OS(1)

💖 VIEW-OS(1) — the general commands manual, section 1, bestie 💖

okay so real talk, this is a page from the General Commands Manual, section 1 of the View-OS docs. sit down, grab a boba, we're gonna talk about unmounting stuff in a virtual-view world 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

viewumount — the mount command for view-os (umview, kmview) 🌸

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

viewumount [-hfl] dir | device

like, that's the whole vibe. you give it a dir or a device, and you get the flags -hfl in there too 💅

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so viewumount does the same thing as umount(8), and it has the same meaning, but a reduced set of features. so it's giving umount but make it ✨smaller✨. iconic behavior, honestly.

now here's the lore 📜 — View-OS used to just use the standard mount command from linux-utils-ng. easy, chill, no drama. BUT. since v.2.15.rc1, umount is not compatible any more with View-OS, and the reason is literally an unnecessary restriction that kicks in when the executable is not setuid. so yeah, that happened 😭

and the View-OS girlies are like, we hope the developers of linux-utils-ng can fix the problem asap 🙏 fr fr, no cap, we're rooting for them.
