setmnt(1M)  —  ADMINISTRATOR COMMANDS

NAME

setmnt − establish mount table

SYNOPSIS

/sbin/setmnt

DESCRIPTION

setmnt creates the /etc/mnttab table which is needed for both the mount and umount commands.  setmnt reads standard input and creates a mnttab entry for each line.  Input lines have the format:

filesys node

where filesys is the name of the file system’s “special file” (such as /dev/dsk/c?d?s?) and node is the root name of that file system.  Thus filesys and node become the first two strings in the mount table entry. 

FILES

/etc/mnttab

SEE ALSO

mount(1M)

NOTES

Problems may occur if filesys or node are longer than 32 characters. 
setmnt silently enforces an upper limit on the maximum number of mnttab entries.
