+.Dt MOUNT_MSDOS 8
+.Os FreeBSD 2.0
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mount_msdos
+.Nd mount an MS-DOS file system
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm mount_msdos
+.Op Fl u Ar uid
+.Op Fl g Ar gid
+.Op Fl m Ar mask
+.Pa special
+.Pa node
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm mount_msdos
+command attaches the MS-DOS filesystem residing on
+the device
+.Pa special
+to the global filesystem namespace at the location
+indicated by
+.Pa node .
+This command is normally executed by
+.Xr mount 8
+at boot time, but can be used by any user to mount an
+MS-DOS file system on any directory that they own (provided,
+of course, that they have appropriate access to the device that
+contains the file system).
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl u
+Set the owner of the files in the file system to
+.Ar uid .
+The default owner is the owner of the directory
+on which the file system is being mounted.
+.It Fl g
+Set the group of the files in the file system to
+.Ar gid .
+The default group is the group of the directory
+on which the file system is being mounted.
+.It Fl m
+Specify the maximum file permissions for files
+in the file system.
+(For example, a mask of
+.Li 755
+specifies that, by default, the owner should have
+read, write, and execute permissions for files, but
+others should only have read and execute permissions.
+See
+.Xr chmod 1
+for more information about octal file modes.)
+Only the nine low-order bits of
+.Ar mask
+are used.
+The default mask is taken from the
+directory on which the file system is being mounted.
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr mount 2 ,
+.Xr unmount 2 ,
+.Xr fstab 5
+.Sh CAVEATS
+The
+.Nm msdos
+filesystem is not known to work reliably with filesystems created by versions
+of MS-DOS later than version 3.3.
+.Pp
+The limitations on file names imposed by MS-DOS are strange, at best.
+For instance, they are
+limited to single-case, 8 character names with 3 character extensions.
+.Pp
+If you see the warning:
+.Pp
+mountmsdosfs(): Warning: root directory is not a multiple of the clustersize in length
+.Pp
+then it is possible that writing to the MS-DOS filesystem would
+produce corruption on the disk. This is a shortcoming in the code
+which needs to be addressed.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm mount_msdos
+utility first appeared in FreeBSD 2.0.
+Its predecessor, the
+.Nm mount_pcfs
+utility appeared in FreeBSD 1, and was abandoned in favor
+of the more aptly-named
+.Nm mount_msdos .
