Mountvol is a utility that enumerates the volumes in your system. Table 3.19 describes the operations Mountvol can perform on a volume mount point.
Table 3.19 Volume Mount Point Operations
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Mountvol or Mountvol /? | Displays the name, globally unique identifier (GUID), and location of the volume. |
| Mountvol [drive:]path VolumeName | Creates a new volume mount point. Specify either a drive letter root directory or an existing empty NTFS directory as the source of the mount point and a volume name as the target. |
| Mountvol [drive:]path /D | Deletes an existing volume mount point. |
| Mountvol [drive:]path /L | Lists a volume name for a given volume mount point. |
- 'Path' specifies the existing NTFS directory where the mount point will reside.
- 'VolumeName' specifies the name of the volume that is the mount point target.
- '/D' removes the volume mount point from the specified directory.
- '/L' Lists the mounted volume name for the specified directory.
Important
A volume can have only one drive letter. Using Mountvol to assign a drive letter fails if the volume already has a drive letter. To avoid this problem, delete the drive letter of the volume before assigning one using Mountvol.
