VMS Help  —  MOUNT  Qualifiers  /PROCESSOR
       /PROCESSOR=keyword

    For magnetic tapes and Files-11 Structure Level 1 disks, requests
    that the MOUNT command associate an ancillary control process
    (ACP) to process the volume. The /PROCESSOR qualifier causes
    MOUNT to override the default manner in which ACPs are associated
    with devices.

    For Files-11 Structure Levels 2 and 5 disks, controls block cache
    allocation.

    The following table lists the keywords for this qualifier:

    Keyword       Description

    UNIQUE        Creates a new process to execute the default
                  ancillary control process (ACP) image supporting
                  the magnetic tape, Files-11 ODS-1, ISO 9660, or
                  High Sierra formatted media being mounted.

                  For Files-11 Structure Levels 2 and 5 disks,
                  allocates a separate block cache.

    SAME:device   Uses an existing process that is executing the same
                  ACP image supporting the magnetic tape, Files-11
                  ODS-1, ISO 9660, or High Sierra formatted media
                  being mounted.

                  For Files-11 Structure Levels 2 and 5 disks, takes
                  the block cache allocation from the specified
                  device.

    file-spec     Creates a new process to execute the ACP image
                  specified by the file specification (for example,
                  a modified or a user-written ACP). You cannot use
                  wildcard characters, or node and directory names in
                  the file specification.

                  To use this keyword, you need CMKRNL and OPER
                  privileges.

                  You must have the operator user privilege OPER to
                  use the /PROCESSOR qualifier.

    Example

    The following command directs MOUNT to mount a magnetic tape on
    MFA0 using the same ACP process currently associated with MTA1:

    $ MOUNT/PROCESSOR=SAME:MTA1: MFA0:
