          MOUNTALL(1M)         INTERACTIVE UNIX System         MOUNTALL(1M)



          NAME
               mountall, umountall - mount, unmount multiple file systems

          SYNOPSIS
               /etc/mountall [-] [file-system-table] ...
               /etc/umountall [-k]

          DESCRIPTION
               These commands may be  executed only by the super-user.

               The mountall command is used to mount file systems according
               to a file-system-table. (/etc/fstab is the default file sys-
               tem table.) The special file name "-" reads from the stan-
               dard input.

               Before each file system is mounted, it is checked using
               fsstat(1M) to see if it appears mountable.  If the file sys-
               tem does not appear mountable, it is checked, using
               fsck(1M), before the mount is attempted.

               The umountall command causes all mounted file systems except
               root to be unmounted.  The -k option sends a SIGKILL signal,
               via fuser(1M), to processes that have files open.

          FILES
               File-system-table format:

                    column 1    block special file name of file system

                    column 2    mount-point directory

                    column 3    "-r" if to be mounted read-only; "-d" if
                                remote

                    column 4    (optional) file system type string

                    column 5+   ignored

               White space separates columns.  Lines beginning with "#" are
               comments.  Empty lines are ignored.

               A typical file-system-table might read:

                    /dev/dsk/0s1   /usr -r S51K

          SEE ALSO
               fsck(1M), fsstat(1M), fuser(1M), mount(1M).

          DIAGNOSTICS
               No messages are printed if the file systems are mountable

               and clean.

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

          NOTES
               The information displayed in Column 3 will only appear if
               the file system was mounted as a read-only or remote
               resource.
