.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mount\fR and \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mountrw\fR commands
+will mount the image in the Windows Imaging (WIM) file \fIWIMFILE\fR specified
+by \fIIMAGE\fR on the directory \fIDIRECTORY\fR using FUSE (Filesystem in
+Userspace). \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mount\fR will mount the image read-only, while
+\fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mountrw\fR will mount the image read-write.
.PP
-The \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mount\fR and \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mountrw\fR commands will mount the image in
-the Windows Imaging (WIM) file \fIWIMFILE\fR specified by \fIIMAGE\fR on the
-directory \fIDIRECTORY\fR using FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace). \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@
-mount\fR will mount the image read-only, while \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mountrw\fR will mount
-the image read-write.
-
\fIIMAGE\fR may be a 1-based index of the image in the WIM to mount, or it may
be the name of an image in the WIM. Use the \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ info\fR (1)
command to see the available images in the WIM. \fIIMAGE\fR may be omitted if
\fIWIMFILE\fR contains only one image.
-
-
+.PP
The WIM image can be unmounted using the \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ unmount\fR command. Changes
made to a WIM mounted read-write will be discarded unless the \fB--commit\fR
flag is provided to \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ unmount\fR.
-
.SH SPLIT WIMS
-
You may use \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mount\fR to mount an image from a split WIM read-only.
However, you may not mount an image from a split WIM read-write.
-
+.PP
The \fIWIMFILE\fR argument is used to specify the first part of the split WIM, and
the \fB--refs\fR="\fIGLOB\fR" option is used to provide a shell-style file glob
that specifies the additional parts of the split WIM. \fIGLOB\fR is expected to
the split WIM, except optionally the first part which may either omitted or
included in the glob (but the first part MUST be specified as \fIWIMFILE\fR as
well).
-
+.PP
Here's an example. The names for the split WIMs usually go something like:
-
.RS
.PP
.nf
mywim4.swm
mywim5.swm
.RE
-
+.PP
To mount the first image of this split WIM to the directory "dir", we would do:
.PP
.RS
@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mount mywim.swm 1 dir --ref="mywim*.swm"
.RE
.PP

.SH NOTES
-
-If wimlib was configured using the \fB--without-fuse\fR flag, then the \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@
-mount\fR, \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mountrw\fR, and \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ unmount\fR commands will not work.
-Also, these commands are not available in the Windows builds of wimlib.

+If wimlib was configured using the \fB--without-fuse\fR flag, then the
+\fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mount\fR, \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mountrw\fR, and
+\fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ unmount\fR commands will not work. Also, these commands
+are not available in the Windows builds of wimlib.
+.PP
You can mount multiple images from a WIM file read-only at the same time, but
you can only mount one image at a time from a WIM read-write.
-
+.PP
All files in the mounted WIM will be accessible regardless of whether there is a
security descriptor in the WIM associated with the file or not. New files or
directories created in a read-write mounted WIM will be created with no security
\fB--streams-interface\fR option), it is currently not possible
to set or get DOS names, file attributes, or security
descriptors in a mounted WIM.
-
+.PP
By default, changes to a read-write WIM are made in-place by appending to the
WIM. This is nice for big WIM files, since the entire file doesn't have to be
rebuilt to make a small change. But, if you are making many changes to a
read-write mounted WIM, especially deleting large files, it is suggested to
provide the \fB--rebuild\fR option to \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ unmount\fR to force the WIM to
be rebuilt, or else run \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ optimize\fR on the WIM afterwards.
-
.SH MOUNT OPTIONS
-
-.TP
+.TP 6
\fB--check\fR
When reading the WIM, verify its integrity if it contains an integrity table.
.TP
This option is inspired by the ntfs-3g filesystem driver (see \fBntfs-3g\fR
(8)). It controls how alternate data streams, or named data streams, in WIM
files are made available.
-
+.IP ""
If "none", it will be impossible to read or write the named data streams.
-
+.IP ""
If "xattr" (default), named data streams will be accessible through extended
file attributes, unless this support was disabled when compiling wimlib. The
named data streams may be accessed through extended attributes named "user.*",
where the * is the name of the named data stream. See \fBsetfattr\fR (1) and
\fBgetfattr\fR (1).
-
+.IP ""
If "windows", the named data streams will be accessible by specifying the
filename, then a colon, then the name of the named data stream; for example,
"myfile:mystream".
-
+.IP ""
Please note that named data streams are a somewhat obscure NTFS feature that
aren't actually used much, even though they complicate the WIM file format
considerably. Normally, all you care about is the default or "unnamed" data
Pass the \fBallow_other\fR option to the FUSE mount. See \fBmount.fuse\fR (8).
Note: to do this is a non-root user, \fBuser_allow_other\fR needs to be
specified in /etc/fuse.conf (with the FUSE implementation on Linux, at least).
-
.SH UNMOUNT OPTIONS
-
.TP
\fB--commit\fR
Update the WIM file with the changes that have been made. Has no effect if the
Rebuilding the WIM is slower, but will save a little bit of space that would
otherwise be left as a hole in the WIM. Even more space will be saved if the
read-write mount resulted in streams being deleted from the WIM. Also see
-\fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ optimize\fR. Has no effect if the mount is read-only or if
-\fB--commit\fR was not specified.
-
+.TP
+\fB--lazy\fR
+Pass the \fB-z\fR option to \fBfusermount\fR, which performs a "lazy" unmount
+where the filesystem is detached immediately even if it is still busy. However,
+even with this option, \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ unmount\fR still waits for the
+filesystem to become unbusy; \fB--lazy\fR will only stop the unmount from
+immediately failing.
.SH IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
-
Since a WIM is an archive and not a filesystem, \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mountrw\fR creates a
temporary staging directory to contain files that are created or modified. This
directory is located in the same directory as \fIWIMFILE\fR by default, but the
is unmounted with \fB--commit\fR, the WIM is modified in-place (or rebuild
completely with \fB--rebuild\fR), merging in the staging files as needed. Then,
the temporary staging directory is deleted.
-
+.PP
\fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ unmount\fR runs in a separate process from the process that previously
ran \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mount\fR, and these two processes communicate using POSIX message
queues. See \fIsrc/mount_image.c\fR in the sources for details. Note: As of
wimlib v1.2.1, \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ unmount\fR correctly fails with an error within a
reasonable amount of time (1 second) if the filesystem daemon is abnormally
terminated.
