  LABELIT(1M)           (Essential Utilities)           LABELIT(1M)



  NAME
       labelit - provide labels for file systems

  SYNOPSIS
       /etc/labelit special [ fsname volume [ -n ] ]

  DESCRIPTION
       labelit can be used to provide labels for unmounted disk
       file systems or file systems being copied to tape.  The -n
       option provides for initial labeling only (this destroys
       previous contents).

       With the optional arguments omitted, labelit prints current
       label values.

       The special name should be the physical disk section (e.g.,
       /dev/dsk/m3230s1), or the cartridge tape (e.g.,
       /dev/rmt/m3500).  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, diskette or tape.

       For file systems on disk, fsname and volume are recorded in
       the superblock.
