Method Detail

mountArchive

void mountArchive(String archive,
                  PathVirtual mount)
           throws FilesystemError

Mount the archive archive at mount. The path specified by mount is required to refer to an existing directory.

If the directory at mount exists but was not explicitly created with FSCapabilityCreateDirectoryType.createDirectory(PathVirtual), then the mountArchive function first calls FSCapabilityCreateDirectoryType.createDirectory(PathVirtual) to mark mount as explicitly created, and then attempts to mount the archive as normal.

Parameters:

archive - The archive to mount.

mount - The mount point for the archive.

Throws:

FilesystemError - If a filesystem error occurs.
