A/UX and Apple CD-ROM: Commando "mount" Minor Bug (8/94)


I am trying to mount a CD ROM under A/UX, using Commando to build the command. When you select "Read Only" mounting options for the "mount" command, it returns

mount -r -o rw

If you click the appropriate option, does the -r override the rw option?

The Commando returns "mount -o rw" after choosing "Mount specified filesystem" because the default option for "mount" is read/write. The Commando produces "mount -r -o rw" after choosing "Read Only".

Because "-r" is identical to "-o ro", the "Read Only" operation SHOULD override the previous default (rw) option. However, The "-o rw" can be changed to "-o ro" by selecting "Read Only" from the "Other options" button.
