EFI$HELP.HLB  —  MOUNT  Parameter
 target

    Specifies the disk device that is to be made accessable to the
    EFI$CP environment, or the FAT partition file specification when
    used in conjunction with /DEVICE_ALIAS.

    The FAT12 volume structure does not permit arbitrary capacities.
    Disks and partitions with fewer than 4085 clusters are always
    FAT12, and must match one of the predefined devices.

    For operations on disk devices or partitions with capacities
    within the FAT12 capacity range, the disk capacity must match
    that of a recognized floppy device. Most commonly, this is
    either the 1.44 megabyte (2880 blocks) or the 2.88 megabyte (5760
    blocks) floppy disk, or an LD partition of a matching size, or a
    partition file of a matching size.

    For read-only operations or operations involving partition
    files located on DVD or other read-only media, /NOWRITE must
    be specified.

    For additional related information, please see the EFI$_UNRECRX
    error.

 label-name

    Specifies the volume label for the target volue.

    If the label value contains spaces or other reserved characters,
    the label string must be quoted.

    The label specification match operation is both case-blind and
    space-filled. In particular, if the length of the label string
    specified is less than the length of the volume label, the short
    of the two specifications is assumed to be space-padded.

    If the target volume label is not known, you can can consider the
    use of /OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION to override the volume label, and
    mount the volume.

    The volume label is used to create an OpenVMS logical name of
    the format EFI$DISK$vollab. Whitespace and other characters
    not permissible within typical OpenVMS logical names will be
    replaced with underscores within the resulting logical name. This
    logical name can be used to reference the target device within
    the remainder of the EFI$CP session.

    This logical name is particularly useful if you choose to
    sequentially activate or to nest command procedure calls (see
    @), with one procedure used to initialize and mount the target
    device, and one or more subsequent procedures to perform a series
    of operations-without specific regard to the target physical
    device name used by the initial procedure.

 log-name

    Specifies a logical name to be created. If specified, the
    translation of this logical name will contain the device
    specification.

    If the label-name parameter value is to be overridden (using
    /OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION), the label-name parameter must be
    specified (as a null string) if this log-name parameter is also
    to be specified. With /OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION, the null string
    specified within the label-name parameter is ignored.
