   NAME
         mountall, umountall - mount, unmount multiple file systems

   SYNOPSIS
         mountall  [-F FSType] [-l | -r] [ file_system_table]
         umountall [-F FSType] [-k] [-l | -r]

   DESCRIPTION
         These commands may be  executed only by a privileged user.

         mountall  is used to mount file systems according to a
         file_system_table. (/etc/vfstab is the default file system table.)
         The special file name "-" reads from the standard input.  If the dash
         is specified, then the standard input must be in the same format as
         /etc/vfstab.  With no arguments mountall restricts the mount to all
         systems with automnt field set to yes in the file_system_table.

         Before each file system is mounted, a sanity check is done using fsck
         [see fsck(1M)] to see if it appears mountable.  If the file system
         does not appear mountable, it is fixed, using fsck, before the mount
         is attempted.

         umountall causes all mounted file systems except root, /proc, /var,
         and /usr to be unmounted.  If the FSType is specified mountall and
         umountall limit their actions to the FSType specified.

         The options are:

         -F        Specify the File System type  to be mounted or unmounted.
                   If FSType is specified the action is limited to file
                   systems of this FSType.

         -l        Limit the action to local file systems.

         -r        Limit the action to remote file system types.

         -k        Send a SIGKILL signal to processes that have files opened.

   DIAGNOSTICS
         No messages are printed if the file systems are mountable and clean.

         Error and warning messages come from fsck(1M) and mount(1M).
