Command usage:
mount BlockDevice MountPoint
mount -o acl BlockDevice MountPoint
The -o acl mount option allows manipulating file ACLs. If a file system is mounted without the -
o acl mount option, users are allowed to view ACLs (with getfacl), but are not allowed to set
them (with setfacl).
Note
You can use init.d scripts included with Red Hat Cluster Suite to automate
mounting and unmounting GFS2 file systems. For more information about init.d
scripts, refer to Configuring and Managing a Red Hat Cluster.
