MNTTAB(5)  —  UNIX 3.0

NAME

mnttab − mounted file system table

SYNOPSIS

struct mnttab {
charmt_dev[10];
charmt_filsys[10];
shortmt_ro_flg;
time_tmt_time;
};

DESCRIPTION

Mnttab resides in directory /etc and contains a table of devices mounted by the mount(1M) command.

Each entry is 26 bytes in length; the first 10 bytes are the null-padded name of the place where the special file is mounted; the next 10 bytes represent the null-padded root name of the mounted special file; the remaining 6 bytes contain the mounted special file’s read/write permissions and the date on which it was mounted.

The maximum number of entries in mnttab is based on the system parameter NMOUNT located in /usr/src/uts/cf/conf.c, which defines the number of allowable mounted special files.
