Name

setmnt - establish mount table

Synopsis

/usr/sbin/setmnt

Availability

SUNWcsu

Description

setmnt creates the /etc/mnttab table which is needed for both the mount and umount commands. setmnt reads standard input and creates a mnttab entry for each line. Input lines have the format:

filesys node

where filesys is the name of the file system’s ‘‘special file’’ (such as /dev/dsk/c?d?s?) and node is the root name of that file system. Thus filesys and node become the first two strings in the mount table entry.

Files

/etc/mnttab

See Also

mount(1M)

Bugs

Problems may occur if filesys or node are longer than 32 characters.
setmnt silently enforces an upper limit on the maximum number of mnttab entries.
