NAME
     fsentry - creates an entry in the file-system table

SYNOPSIS
     fsentry -t type [-o optlist] [-d dumpfreq] [-p passno] [-n]
     [-f] disk-device-file mount-point

ARGUMENTS
     -d dumpfreq
          Specifies the dump frequency used by the dump.bsd
          command.  The default is 0.  This option is ignored for
          Network File System (NFS) file systems and swap file
          systems.

     -f   Forces creation of an entry in the file-system table.
          If /etc/fstab already contains an entry for either
          disk-device-file or mount-point, fsentry prints an
          error message and quits.  This option forces fsentry to
          generate an entry that may replace an existing entry in
          the file-system table.  Note that no checking is done
          for existing entries if the type specified is ignore.

     disk-device-file
          Specifies the file system to be mounted.  In the case
          of NFS file systems, this file is of the form
          host:mount-point where host is the name of the remote
          host system and mount-point is the full pathname of a
          directory on that system.  In the case of local (UFS,
          SVFS, and swap) file systems, the form is
          /dev/dsk/cxd0sy, where x is the SCSI ID number of the
          hard disk containing the file system and y is the slice
          (usually between 0 and 31, inclusive).  In the case of
          ignore, the file system can be of either form.

     mount-point
          Specifies the full pathname of a directory on the local
          machine, to be used as the mount point.  If this
          directory does not exist, fsentry creates it.  This
          option is ignored for type swap.

     -n   Specifies the ``No auto'' option.  By default, file
          systems are automatically mounted after an entry is
          generated in the file-system table and each time the
          system is booted.  This option sets the noauto flag in
          the entry.  The file system must be mounted explicitly
          with the mount command.  The fsentry command does not
          mount the file system.

     -o optlist
          Specifies a comma-separated list of mounting options,
          as used by mount.  For NFS file systems, the default
          options are rw, bg, intr.  For swap, 4.2 (UFS), or 5.2

          (SVFS) file systems, the default is rw.  For type
          ignore, the default is determined by the value of
          disk-device-file.

     -p passno
          Specifies the pass number used by fsck. The default is
          2.  This option is ignored for remote (NFS) and swap
          file systems.

     -t type
          Specifies the type of file system. This must be nfs,
          4.2 (UFS), 5.2 (SVFS), swap, or ignore.

DESCRIPTION
     fsentry creates entries in the file-system table,
     /etc/fstab. Only one entry is allowed per invocation.  The
     syntax is similar to that of the mount command.  The fsentry
     command also mounts the file system for which an entry has
     been generated (although you can override this default with
     the -n option).

FILES
     /etc/fsentry
          Executable file
     /etc/fstab
          File containing file-system descriptions
