% podman-volume-mount 1 ## NAME podman\-volume\-mount - Mount a volume filesystem ## SYNOPSIS **podman volume mount** [*volume* ...] ## DESCRIPTION Mounts the specified volumes' file system in a location which can be accessed from the host, and returns its location. Rootless mode only supports mounting file volumes unless Podman is run within the user namespace via the `podman unshare` command. All other volume types fail to mount. ## RETURN VALUE The location of the mounted file system. On error an empty string and errno is returned. ## EXAMPLE Mount specified volume. As Root: ``` # podman volume mount foo /home/dwalsh/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/foo/_data ``` In rootless mode, volume mounting only works after executing the podman unshare command to enter the user namespace. ``` $ podman unshare # podman volume mount foo /home/dwalsh/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/foo/_data ``` ## SEE ALSO **[podman(1)](podman.1.md)**, **[podman-volume(1)](podman-volume.1.md)**, **[podman-volume-unmount(1)](podman-volume-unmount.1.md)**, **[podman-unshare(1)](podman-unshare.1.md)**, **mount(8)**
