NAME

       copyfs-mount - mounts a versioned file system

SYNOPSIS

       copyfs-mount version-directory mount-point

DESCRIPTION

       This  script  lets you mount a CopyFS file system. version-directory is the directory where the files and
       version information will be stored by CopyFS.

       When using CopyFS for the first time, copyfs-mount  will  create  the  required  files  in  the  version-
       directory before running copyfs-daemon. mount-point is the directory where the copyfs file system will be
       mounted. This is where the users will have access to the files.

       If you want to mount a CopyFS at '/mnt/fs', whose version directory is at /var/versions, you would use:

            root@host# copyfs-mount /var/versions /mnt/fs

       To unmount it, simply do:

            root@host# umount /mnt/fs

       As you would do for any other filesystem.

       You can also allow an ordinary non-root users to mount and unmount CopyFS filesystems provided  that  the
       user  is  added  to  the  'fuse'  group.  Ordinary  users  will be able unmount the filesystem, using the
       fusermount command:

            $ fusermount -u mount-point
