labelit(1M-ufs) labelit(1M-ufs)
NAME
labelit - provide labels for ufs file systems
SYNOPSIS
labelit [-F ufs] [genericoptions] special [fsname volume]
DESCRIPTION
labelit can be used to provide labels for unmounted ufs disk file sys-
tems or ufs file systems being copied to tape.
With the optional arguments omitted, labelit prints current label
values.
The special name should be the physical disk section (e.g.
/dev/ios0/rsdisk000s3), or the tape (e.g. /dev/ios0/rstape00). The
device may not be on a remote machine.
The fsname argument represents the mounted name (e.g. root, u1, etc.)
of the file system.
volume may be used to equate an internal name to a volume name applied
externally to the disk pack, or tape.
For file systems on disk, fsname and volume are recorded in the super-
block.
OPTIONS
-F ufs Specifies the ufs FSType. Used to ensure that an
ufs file system is labeled.
