mountall(1M)                     UNIX System V                     mountall(1M)


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, /stand, and
      /dev/fd 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).
