Remount an already-mounted filesystem without unmounting it

Necessary for fsck for example. The remount functionality follows the standard way how the mount command works with options from fstab. It means the mount command doesn't read fstab (or mtab) only when a device and dir are fully specified. After this call all old mount options are replaced and arbitrary stuff from fstab is ignored, except the loop= option which is internally generated and maintained by the mount command. It does not change device or mount point.
This is sample output - yours may be different.

mount -o remount,ro /dev/foo /

copy root to new device

Clone a root partition. The reason for double-mounting the root device is to avoid any filesystem overlay issues. This is particularly important for /dev. Also, note the importance of the trailing slashes on the paths when using rsync (search the man page for "slash" for more details). rsync and bash add several subtle nuances to path handling; using trailing slashes will effectively mean "clone this directory", even when run multiple times. For example: run once to get an initial copy, and then run again in single user mode just before rebooting into the new disk. Using file globs (which miss dot-files) or leaving off the trailing slash with rsync (which will create /mnt/target/root) are traps that are easy to fall into.
This is sample output - yours may be different.

mount /dev/root /mnt/root; rsync -avHX /mnt/root/ /mnt/target/

Mount a VMware virtual disk (.vmdk) file on a Linux box

Assumes XP/2000/2003. For Server 2008+ try offset=105,906,176 You can find this number in the System Information utility under Partition Starting Offset. UEFI based boxes you want partition 2 since the first is just the boot files (and FAT). This works with (storage side) snapshots which is handy for single file restores on NFS mounted VMware systems Show Sample Output

snapshot partition for consistent backups with minimal downtime

(FreeBSD) Once you've made the snapshot you can resume any stopped services and then back up the file system (using the snapshot) without having to worry about changed files. When finished, the snapshot can be removed : umount /mnt mdconfig -d -u 1 rm /var/.snap/snap_var_`date "+%Y-%m-%d"`

mount starting sector of the partition we want to mount

Assuming we have a disk image, created by dd if=/dev/sda of=image.dd we can check the image's partition layout with fdisk -ul image.dd, then substitute "x" with starting sector of the partition we want to mount. This example assumes that the disk uses 512Byte sectors

Unmount all mounted SAMBA/Windows shares

This is a handy command to put into ~/.bash_logout to automatically un-mount windows shares whenever the user logs out. If you use this on as a non-root account then you'll need to append sudo before umount and the user will need to have the appropriate sudoer rights to run the /bin/umount command.

Remount all NFS mounts on a host

`mount -o remount` doesn't pick up new NFS options (eg. timeo, soft, retrans, etc) so you need to do a full mount/remount cycle. This one-liner makes it quick and easy :) Update your fstab with the new options, then run it. Show Sample Output

```
