Default values: '????'. + + uid=n, gid=n + Specifies the user/group that owns all files on the filesystem + that have uninitialized permissions structures. + Default: user/group id of the mounting process. + + umask=n + Specifies the umask (in octal) used for files and directories + that have uninitialized permissions structures. + Default: umask of the mounting process. + + session=n + Select the CDROM session to mount as HFSPlus filesystem. Defaults to + leaving that decision to the CDROM driver. This option will fail + with anything but a CDROM as underlying devices. + + part=n + Select partition number n from the devices. This option only makes + sense for CDROMs because they can't be partitioned under Linux. + For disk devices the generic partition parsing code does this + for us. Defaults to not parsing the partition table at all. + + decompose + Decompose file name characters. + + nodecompose + Do not decompose file name characters. + + force + Used to force write access to volumes that are marked as journalled + or locked. Use at your own risk. + + nls=cccc + Encoding to use when presenting file names. + + +References +========== + +kernel source: + +Apple Technote 1150 http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1150.html
